If you really want to know God through the preached and taught word, Bethesda Temple (House of Mercy) is the place to be. If you want to experience the presence of God through his word, praise, worship, prayer and personal time with God you will find that Bethesda provides wonderful opportunities for you to experience God through each of these avenues.


EXPERIENCE GOD THROUGH HIS WORD

We study the scriptures in order to understand what the original author actually meant when he wrote the text not what culture has popularized. God is truth and can be experienced through His divine truth.


EXPERIENCING GOD THROUGH FELLOWSHIP WITH HIM
We believe that God has always wanted to dwell among his people. He created mankind so He could have someone to talk to, love and who would love him in return. He created mankind to have someone with whom he could tell his plans and purposes. He actually delights in his creation and wants us to delight in him. At Bethesda, we realize that God desires fellowship with His people and actually takes delight in our fellowship with him, therefore, we delight in the glorious experiences we have in His presence.


EXPERIENCING GOD THROUGH PRAISE AND WORSHIP
The bible declares that God dwells in the midst of praise and we have been known to praise him until the spirit of worship comes in, then worship him until the glory becomes manifest, and then soak in the glory of his presence! 


CHILDREN EXPERIENCING GOD

We believe in Christian education because God wants his children’s children to know him and the blessings of being in covenant with him. Our children experience God in our Christian school through his word, his spirit, Christian training and character building, and through the harmony we strive to maintain between home and school. Students in our school learn how to share their faith, pray for others, operate in the gifts of the Spirit, scripture memorization and understanding, laying on of hands, speaking for the Lord, prayer and waiting in God’s presence as well as excellence in academics.
