  Bethany Presbyterian Church is a community on a journey. From its foundation in 1887 to the present day, it is a congregation in transition and growth. We are a family growing daily in caring and love. Ministries of Stephen Ministers, people who become a listening ear for those in crisis situations, and Bethany Helpers, people who give temporary assistance to those in crisis, are only two of the ways we show our care. We are also a people growing daily in spirituality. The congregation has an active Prayer Chain, continually lifting up the concerns of people, whoever and wherever they may be. Worship, study, and prayer groups work for the growth in our relationship with Jesus Christ. We have a strong belief in the healing God brings us emotionally, physically, and spiritually through faith, prayer and the Holy Spirit. While we have ministries that pray for healing, we believe  that all of our ministries bring wholeness. Music, preaching, prayer, fellowship, youth ministry, Christian education all minister to the needs of  individuals who long to be whole in his or her relationship to God and to people.

All of this can be summed up in our motto - "Caring for God's People on a Journey of Faith, through God's healing word." We believe that Bethany is an exciting place to be. Come join us on the journey.


 
   
 
       
         
       
 
     
  Pastor Steve Parker came to Bethany in April 1986. Born in Iowa, he was raised in the Midwest. He graduated from the University of Dubuque Theological Seminary in 1977 and  then served a yoked parish for nine years. Pastor Steve feels that ministry is an exciting journey. His zeal is teaching the living word of God and  encouraging the people of God to be people of prayer. Steve and his wife Rachel, who is a social worker, have a son, David.
