Bethel College Mennonite Church , a member of Mennonite Church USA , is located at the corner of E. 26th St. and College Avenue on the Bethel College campus in North Newton , Kan. Our average Sunday morning worship attendance is more than 300, and we feature Sunday school classes for all ages. Music and the arts are important elements in our worship, which often includes a variety of vocal and hand bell choirs, organ, piano, strings and brass instrumentation, as well as readers’ theater and dramatic readings. Yet the work of the body of Christ is not confined to Sundays. Our outreach efforts include a playschool, service projects and other activities. We invite you to visit and join us in praise, worship and service to God.

Welcoming Statement
“Bethel College Mennonite Church welcomes into fellowship and membership all persons who confess faith in Jesus Christ, without regard to their race, ethnic background, gender, age, sexual orientation, education, ability, and other factors which give rise to discrimination and marginalization.”
Vision: Healing and Hope
God calls us to be followers of Jesus Christ , and by the power of the Holy Spirit to grow as communities of grace, joy, and peace, so that God’s healing and hope flow through us to the world.
