WHAT TO EXPECT

We are a diverse church that has diverse attire. Some people dress up in their suits; some dress a bit more casually. We even have some that dress in clothing traditional to their home country. We mostly ask that you come dressed in a way that honors God and others around you!

We've gone to great lengths to create safe and fun environments for your kids and teens that encourage their relationship with God and their friendships with others to grow!

BETHEL KIDS is the children’s ministry of Bethel Cincinnati Church. We create fun, welcoming, and safe environments for kids to get to know God and grow in their faith. Everyone from birth through fourth grade is invited! Check out our Kids Page to find out what’s going on in Bethel Kids and access our virtual resources for kids!

BETHEL YOUTH is the middle school and high school ministry of Bethel Cincinnati Church. It’s a place for fifth through twelfth graders to be challenged and encouraged to grow a real relationship with Jesus Christ and experience authentic community with others their age. Check out our Youth Page to find out what’s going on in Bethel Youth and access our virtual resources for teens!

NextGen Sundays take place every time there is a 5th Sunday of the month. Kids and youth attend and help lead many aspects of the worship service, from greeting people at the doors to singing on the worship team.

We partake in communion on the first Sunday of every month. There are also other special Sundays throughout the course of the year on which we partake in the elements. This happens collectively during our worship service when our ushers pass out cups that include grape juice and a wafer. At the end of every service, we have faithful men and women at the front of the worship center who are ready and willing to stand with you in prayer. Please, do not hesitate to ask someone to pray with you!

Bethel Cincinnati is a Christian church a part of a denomination called Every Nation. Our services are open to anyone regardless of what they believe. For a more detailed look into what we believe, check out our beliefs page.

As a first-time guest, we do not expect you to give to our church. It is appreciated but not expected. All gifts given to Bethel Cincinnati are tax-deductible because we are a non-profit organization. We use these funds to run the church and reach the city of Cincinnati and beyond with the Gospel. 

After attending a service and filling out one of our connection cards, the next step in getting connected is to attend our Discipleship 101 class, a four-week class that meets online on Thursdays at 7:00 PM. In this class you will learn about our vision and mission through our values of devotion, diversity, and discipleship.

Acts 2:38 says "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.” We believe that being baptized is an outward expression of an inward transformation that has already taken place through you personal choice to accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. The act of being submerged in water symbolizes your choice to lay to rest your old life and reemerge from the water as a new believer in Christ free from your past sins. In the same way that a wedding, baby dedication, or graduation is meant to be witnessed and celebrated by family and friends, being baptized is a declaration of your faith and a request from everyone who witnesses this moment to help you walk it out.

Here at Bethel Cincinnati we love it when a family is blessed with a new baby. We firmly believe that one of the greatest revelations we can have as parents is when we acknowledge that children are a gift from God. In these joyful moments, we have the privilege of walking with parents as they express their full appreciation to God through baby dedications. Dedicating a child acknowledges God's sovereignty not only over the child, but also Mom and Dad. Parents present their child before God and His people asking for grace and wisdom in carrying out their responsibilities. Parents also come praying that their child might one day accept Jesus Christ as Savior for the forgiveness of sin. 

Worship is, first and foremost, a lifestyle. We worship on Sunday mornings through prayer, music, giving, and the Word. Our style of music is diverse, which includes a combination of gospel, contemporary Christian music, and Every Nation Music, our global community of songwriters.

Members of Bethel Cincinnati Church are those who have completed the D101 classed and have committed to share their time, talent, and treasure in the service of our church, our community, and beyond.
