Bethesa Mission Community Center
Did you know that in addition to the Men's Shelter and the Women's Shelter, Bethesda Mission established a Youth Center in 1990? This community center reaches children, teens, and families to guide them into a relationship with Jesus Christ so that they can be a positive influence in their homes, schools and communities.
What it Means to be a United Methodist
As United Methodist Christians, we believe that following Jesus is a matter of the mind and the heart. We express our faith in acts of piety (devotion to God) and mercy (justice for our neighbors). That means we do things like weekly worship, Bible Study, Sunday School, and prayer meetings to stay close to God’s heart. We also go out in service in hands on ways (like serving at the soup kitchen or collecting supplies for those in need) and give away a portion of our church funds called ministry shares to support schools, hospitals, and other means of blessing our neighbors.
As United Methodists, we are part of global family of churches. There are about 8 million of us in the United States, and another 3.5 million brothers and sisters in other parts of the world. We are connected to lots of other churches and Christians in our region through the Susquehanna Annual (Regional) Conference, which has about 950 churches across Central and Northeastern Pennsylvania.
You can learn more about our connection to the larger whole at our denominational web site. Together, we can do things in mission and ministry that no single congregation could accomplish. Here are just a few things we do because we are United Methodists connected to our denomination.
