As of June 12, the Government of Alberta has given churches the permission to resume worship gatherings with no cap on attendance, as long as public health measures are in place.

In light of that, our church is ready to open our doors to regular worship services at Bethel.

This will mean that there will be certain protocols that will be followed in the coming weeks and months. You can check the Guidance for Places of Worship document before attending or contact the church office by phone or email for clarification.

In the past few months, our church has not been shut down or closed. Rather, the church (which is not the building, but the people) has not had the opportunity to be “the church gathered”, but has instead been “the church scattered”, living the life of Christ in our homes, neighbourhoods, and places of work.

As we begin to have worship gatherings and reinstate programs, I would encourage us all not to forget the precious intimacy of backyard worship gatherings and porch visits. Further to that, the restrictions presently enforced on gatherings at the church building do not apply to outside home visits. So feel free to keep having those spontaneous gatherings and sing-a-longs, even though we will be resuming our worship services at the church.

As always, if you have any questions or concerns, do not hesitate to contact the church office at 403-443-7239 or churchoffice@bethel3hills.ca

On behalf of the Bethel family, welcome to our church fellowship.  Our hope and prayer is that you will experience that everyone is welcome here, no matter your background.  We recognize that nobody is perfect and that we all are in need of God’s grace.  We also pray that through your connection with Bethel, you will experience the healing and the growth in your life that Jesus has in mind for you, because anything is possible with Him.

As you visit our building and attend events we generate, you will soon see that our priorities are evident:  we are committed to helping more people become fully devoted followers of Jesus.  We do that through Biblical integrity, authentic community, persistent prayer, active worship, and intentional outreach.

If you have any questions that are not answered on this website, please contact our office, and we will endeavor to answer them and make your experience at Bethel comfortable and stress free.
