Who We Are
Founded in the fall of 1949, Bethesda has been ministering to Madison and the surrounding communities for over sixty years. Our style of worship is contemporary with music that is full of life and messages that are relevant to the world we live in. We are a community of believers that consist of various denominational backgrounds with our common bond being our faith in Jesus Christ. We place a great emphasis on ministering to the entire family through our various children’s, youth, and adult programs. As a Bible believing church we recognize that it is through God’s Word that we receive insight, assurance, hope, healing and direction for our lives.
Our Relationships
With the understanding that we are not alone, Bethesda is committed to connecting with the greater Body of Christ in our community through prayer and praise gatherings, citywide conferences, outreaches, monthly pastors prayer gatherings and other unified gatherings. In addition, Bethesda is a member of the Evangelistic Missionary Fellowship, (EMF) which is an organization of pastors, churches, Christian workers, and missionaries committed to promoting the Kingdom of God throughout the earth. Through a networking process the E.M.F. is able to plant new churches and strengthen existing congregations nationally, as well as support missionaries and mission works around the world.
What We Believe
The Scriptures - We believe the sixty-six books of the Old and New Testaments, as originally given, to be inerrant, authoritative, and inspired by God and thus the only standard for matters of faith and practice.
God - We believe there is only one God, but that he has revealed Himself eternally in three persons: God the Father, God the Son (Jesus Christ), and God the Holy Spirit. We believe that these three persons, though distinct in function, are equal in power and glory.
Jesus Christ - We believe that Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, is the only Savior of mankind. We believe in His deity, His humanity, His virgin birth, His sinless life, His miracle-working power, His atoning death, His bodily resurrection and ascension into heave, His present intercessory ministry on behalf of His church, and His Son, and physical return to earth.
Man - We believe in both the dignity and the depravity of man. We believe that Adam and Eve were created sinless in the image of God but that they sinned and thereby plunged the entire human race into sin and death.
