Ministries
Living in Faith Together
Everyone has room to grow as a follower of Christ. Our motto here at Bethesda Church is “Living in Faith Together.” Below is a list of ministries we offer where we can Live in Faith Together.
Community Groups
What Are Community Groups?
“Community Groups” is the name of our small-group ministry at Bethesda. Similar to the early church (Acts 2:42-47), we gather either in-homes or online for prayer, fellowship, and Bible study.
Why Community Groups?
While the Sunday morning gathering of the local church body is essential to our existence, Community Groups are a vehicle used throughout the week to help you feel more connected to our church. The groups exist to help you grow in your faith in Christ.
When Do They Meet?
Currently, we have groups meeting on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday evenings. We also have a group that meets on Thursday afternoons. We meet all-year round, with the exception of summer, and we take a break around Christmas.
How Do I Sign-Up?
To sign-up for a Community Group, you can contact our Pastor, Mark Stehlin, at: mstehlin@bethesdachurchstl.com
At Bethesda we love kids. Our kids come from all over south county. Our children’s ministry is vibrant, fun, and Christ-centered. We seek to act like family as we raise the next generation in the faith of Jesus Christ. We have many different activities, programs, and sports for kids.

Our Vision
We seek to connect with men to help them grow in discipleship and service to their families, church, and God.
Men at Bethesda serve in leadership roles, teach classes, serve in church ministries, and show the love of Jesus Christ to all through mission.
Men are encouraged to join our Sunday morning Connection Classes, our Wednesday “Lunch Bunch”, and/or a Community Group.
We periodically offer specific small groups just for men.
