Mission and Values

Bethel Baptist Church exists to glorify God as a family of believers proclaiming the Christ of the Bible as the only salvation for a fallen world.


Our Vision:

By God's grace we strive to be known for trustworthy Biblical teaching grounded in confident belief in God's Word, a church family that seeks to be like Christ in sacrificial love and fellowship with one another, working together in hopeful expectation for the salvation of everyone we meet


Our Values:

Jesus Christ is the only way to God (Acts 4:12; 1 Timothy 1:15; John 14:6)

All of the Bible is relevant and authoritative for us (2 Tim. 3:16)

Expository preaching and teaching grounded in the Gospel is our normal practice (1 Cor. 2:2)

Prayer is the essential starting point for all our endeavors (Eph. 6:18)

We commit to one another's spiritual growth and equipping for ministry (Eph. 4:11-13)

We foster an attitude of hopeful expectation in evangelism (Acts 16:14)

We aim to make disciples in Sykesville, in Pennsylvania, and around the world (Matt. 28:18-19; Acts 1:8)
