About Bethany Mennonite Church
Bethany Mennonite Church is an intimate ecumenical gathering in Bridgewater Corners, Vermont. We began as a small group of five families who followed a call to move here from PA in the early 1950’s. We are currently led by Gwen Groff.We foster a healthy awareness of the broader Christian faith as it relates to our global community. We are excited about Jesus Christ. We celebrate the transcendence of his birth. We marvel at the complex grace of his time on Earth. We rejoice in the solemn beauty of his death and resurrection. We are excited about continuing His story of a deep love for the women and men around him, as we live and work here in a quiet corner of the world being the hands, feet, body and blood of the Word-made-Flesh.
We come from all walks of life. We come from all political persuasions. We come from all economic backgrounds. Our common theme is our deep love of the way of Jesus. We love to sing together. We love to eat together. We love to camp together. Our children are important to us. That they have a safe place to seek out their Creator is tantamount to our existence as a body of faith.
In light of all of this, we see ourselves as good soil- no more and no less. Good things grow here.
Mission
The Bethany Mennonite Church mission is to nurture people in the Christian faith with an Anabaptist perspective and to carry these values into the local and world communities. As an extension of our faith we desire to be people who: Invite others to embrace the good news of God’s salvation; experience God’s grace and love; nurture a healthy understanding of God, self and others; foster the ability to resolve conflict and promote justice; nurture emotional and spiritual growth, understand and model an Anabaptist Christian lifestyle; exercise our gifts in service to God. The center of all we do and are is to bear witness to Jesus Christ, being unified by our common commitment to a shalom community.

Children and Youth Activities
- Kids
We love kids! Kids are our future. Jesus said “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.” They need us and we need them. If you have a young family Bethany Mennonite is a great place for you and your kids. We don’t even mind when babies cry during the service!
After the Sunday worship service, we do two things depending on your age:
Adult Christian Education Hour OR Coffee Hour
Sunday School
We are able to increase or decrease the number of Sunday School classes depending on the number and age of the children attending.
If you’re not sure about attending church, consider Bethany Birches Camp. It’s a great place that was founded by the same folks who founded Bethany Mennonite Church.
