Salvation in Jesus Christ automatically includes a call to ministry. Every believer is created, saved, called, gifted, authorized, and commanded to serve. It is the heart of the Christian life. In fact, God has uniquely shaped each individual for a specific ministry, and how He has made us determines what He wants us to do. At Bethel Fellowship, we allow people to change ministries gracefully, without guilt. We do not lock people in permanently. Please take time to carefully review the following ministry opportunities, and then contact us so that we can assist you in your ministry involvement.
