Fulton, Illinois
Bethel Christian Reformed Church has been serving Fulton, IL and beyond since 1961. In recent months, they have dedicated themselves to a simple purpose: love God, love others, and live it. They hope to do so by creating a trusting environment where people deepen their relationship with God, grow closer together, and forge stronger connections with the community through serving and sharing God’s love.
Bethel Church is a multigenerational congregation affiliated with the Christian Reformed Church in North America (www. crcna.org). The congregation lives out its faith as a family of believers who care deeply for one another. Notably, it has a history of caring and supporting its pastors. It includes a core group of prayer warriors, a strong ministry to children, excellent congregational engagement in worship, and a well- maintained, functional, and fully accessible. The congregation supplements its faithful support of its annual budget with generous gifts outside of its four walls.
Looking ahead, the congregation hopes to better engage with youth, minister to young families, build bridges into the community, while it loves God, loves others, and lives it.
