Bethany Church, 5 North Concord Avenue, Havertown, PA 19083.
We are a Presbyterian Church (USA) congregation committed to the authority of Scripture as the rule of faith and life, and the Reformed tradition.
Our membership in the CONFESSING CHURCH MOVEMENT means WE BELIEVE:
1. That Jesus Christ alone is Lord of all and the way of salvation.
2. That holy Scripture is the Triune God's revealed Word, the Church's only infallible rule of faith and life.
3. That God's people are called to holiness in all aspects of life. This includes honoring the sanctity of marriage between a man and a woman, the only relationship within which sexual activity is appropriate.

Passover (John 12:1) Then, six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where
Lazarus lived, whom he had raised from the dead. |

We accept the Bible, including the 39 books
of the Old Testament and the 27 books of the New Testament, as the written
Word of God. The Bible is the only essential and infallible record of God's
self-disclosure. It leads us to salvation through faith in Jesus Christ.
Being given by God the Scriptures are both fully and verbally inspired by
God. Therefore, as originally given, the Bible is free of error in all it
teaches. Each book is to be interpreted according to its context and purpose
and in reverent obedience to the Lord who speaks through it in living power.
All believers are exhorted to study the Scriptures and diligently apply them
to their lives. The Scriptures are the authoritative and normative rule and
guide of all Christian life, practice, and doctrine. They are totally
sufficient and must not be added to, superseded, or changed by later
tradition, extra-biblical revelation, or worldly wisdom. Every doctrinal
formulation, whether of creed, confession, or theology must be put to the
test of the full counsel of God in Holy Scripture. |

a personal note:
Many folks have their thoughts set on the subject of "Church". Whether it's your
upbringing or a new change of direction for you, we can all agree it's better to
pursue "Faith" foremost. Faith can only come directly from the Lord and the
"Church" is really a community of the faithful. Better not to have your mind set
on going "to Church", unless it is set on "sacrifice" to others primarily.
Sacrifice is the end result of what the Bible considers the three greatest
requirements of the Church;
Faith, Hope and Love.
As it's confirmed in my heart and yours, these are indeed the path to follow. I
am confident they are
