PASTORAL CARE

At Bethany, the primary context for pastoral care is within the weekly Small Groups. Care occurs naturally as members build supportive friendships while sharing life and studying the scriptures. If you want to enter into the caring community at Bethany, this is the place to do it. Contact smallgroups@bethanybaptist.bc.ca to find a group.

The Pastoral Staff are also available for counsel along the way, and for support in the midst of the milestone moments of life – birth, marriage, new faith, sickness, relational upheaval, bereavement. If you are unsure of who to contact please get in touch with the church office with any needs so that we can direct you to the appropriate ministry person to deal with the situation.

The Deacons group is made up of committed men and women who provide additional care for the elderly, shut-ins, bereaved, and others who have special needs. Contact deacons@bethanybaptist.bc.ca.

Weddings are among the great moments of celebration in life. Bethany is committed to preparing couples well as they enter into the marriage covenant, through a program of Pre-Marriage Mentoring. Contact the church office (office@bethanybaptist.bc.ca) for more info.
