Companions
Bethel's Companions program are members who have a concern for people and a desire to reach out to anyone who may be feeling isolated or lonely. Our companion members are trained and are given a choice of accepting a call to visit an assigned person on a regular basis for 6-12 months or to just use the training in their personal lives. Please let us know if you would like a Companion to call on you or for our next training dates by emailing us.
These are just a few of the ways Bethel members reach out to others in our community and beyond. Please call or email the church office for additional information or if you are interested in joining any of the above.
