About Us
Bethel is a friendly and welcoming church comprising of people across the age groups. We are in fellowship with Assemblies of God. Our worship is informal and participatory. We value fellowship, worship, teaching of God's Word and mission (both to our local community and overseas). Our children and youth meet in their own groups during our Sunday morning meeting. Midweek we meet in house groups for fellowship, prayer and teaching. We run The Well Coffee Shop in town during the week, which is our regular window for the community. All are welcome at The Well, and it is being used as a hub for other activities outside of regular opening hours.
