Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.(Matthew 28:19-20)
These verses signify the heartbeat of the high school group. I believe that high schoolers have the ability to change the world. They have the ability, the knowledge, the giftedness and capability to make a difference right where they are. This is our hope and goal.
Greg has prepared a web site with resources for High School students. The site contains links to crisis hot lines, devotionals, and Bible study aids, as well as a calendar of events for the High School Department. It also has a parent's page.The site can be found by clicking here. There will also be a permanent link in the navigation bar on the left of this (Bethany's) home page.

Visitation Ministry
“For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.” Then the righteous will answer him, “Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?” And the King shall answer and say unto them, “Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, you have done it unto me.” Matt.25: 35-40
Ron, a graduate of Melodyland School of Theology, has taken over the ministry pioneered by Dr. Gordon Blenkhorn. The purpose of this ministry is to visit and provide support to those unable to make it to church, keeping them abreast of “happenings” at Bethany. Other responsibilities include praying with members and family before surgery, sitting with family members during times of crisis, delivering communion to shut-ins, administering baptism, helping families make final arrangements, and supporting Pastor at memorial services. Ron says, “When I visit them and walk into their room and see their warm friendly smiles, I can truly say, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”

Worship Ministries
Bethany's worship services include a blend of praise songs and hymns, as well as prayer and the creative arts. Our aim is to provide an atmosphere that enables believers in Jesus Christ to enter into the presence of and worship of God. Our focus is on the One being worshiped, not on the act of worship itself. Our times of worshiping as a group provide opportunities as a "family" to bring praise to God, encouraging the worshiper to experience their living relationship with the Savior in a corporate setting. These times of corporate worship also equip the individual with songs and meditations to carry with them through the week.
