Bethany's Ministries

The United Methodist Church exists for the mission of "making disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world".

The local church is where mission comes to life through ministry.

Bethany's ministries are organized around the N.O.W. Model. Through Nurture Ministries, Outreach Ministries, and Witness Ministries, we stay in step with God's work in our neighborhood.
​Nurture Ministries
​Nurture Ministries focuses on congregational care and fellowship opportunities within our church, including Worship, Children's Ministries, Small Groups and Sunday School Groups, Bible Studies, Special Events, Shared Meals, United Women in Faith, Methodist Men, and Music Ministries.

​
Outreach Ministries
​Outreach Ministries focuses on what we do for those who don't come to Bethany, but whom we want to love like God does.  Bethany is connectional, meaning we apportion part of every donation to meet the needs of ministries around the world.  Locally, Bethany ministers through partnerships with James Island Outreach,  Epworth Children's Home, Backpack Buddies, Reading Partners, Blood Drive, and by visiting local senior living facilities.


Witness Ministries
​Witness Ministries is about sharing our faith with the greater community, inviting people to our campus, and living our faith by word and deed. Our work focuses on hospitality and connection so that others may know Christ through invitation,  Virtual Connection, and Community Events such as Bethany Markets, Pumpkin Patch, Christmas Tree Lot, and our Live Nativity.
