Supporting veterans, active military and their families

The Mission

The Military Ministry is specifically designed for military members and their families with the mission to grow awareness of the needs of our servicemen and servicewomen. We help provide the proper guidance and direction while fostering a strong, purposeful sense of community through the creation of a welcoming, affirming, and caring environment.

Serving Those Who Serve

Military members and their families bring a variety of gifts, experiences, and stories of God’s faithfulness to The Church at Bethel’s Family. However, the special circumstances of military life can easily test their faith and spiritual strength. The challenges of reassignments, lengthy separations from loved ones, deployments in harm’s way, dangerous and traumatic experiences, and financial issues may lead to a special need for the fellowship, love, mentoring, and caring that the Body of Christ can bring. When the Church works together in a ministry to military members, God can turn these challenges into avenues of increased faith.

The Military Ministry fosters a strong, purposeful sense of community through the creation of a welcoming and caring atmosphere. In that context, our ministry to the military can provide spiritual solutions for the stresses of military life, including relief and hope for those suffering the destructive effects of combat trauma, as is the case with many veterans. Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is manifested in physical, behavioral, cognitive, emotional, and spiritual symptoms, which, if untreated, can last a lifetime. The Church at Bethel’s Family is filled with opportunities for holistic improvement and spiritual growth. If there is someone struggling with PTSD or another disorder, please know that the Church truly cares and sincerely wants to help. Areas of continued commitment to serve and provide guidance in His name are:

Pastoral Care

• Grief and loss counseling
• Healing for combat trauma
• Marriage counseling
• Overcoming addictions
