Bethany is 125 years old! That's 125 years of faith, community, and making a real and tangible impact in our community. As we gear up for the celebration, we want to take time to look back at our history and what got us to this moment today, and look forward to what’s ahead. More than anything, this milestone is a reminder of the faithfulness of God and how we have only made it to this point through the leading of the Spirit. And that’s something worth celebrating!
Over the course of this year, there will be lots of different ways we mark this milestone including events, sharing stories, weekend service pieces, and more! All leading up to our big celebration in September. This page will be your hub for all things 125, so make sure to check back for more information about upcoming events, getting involved, and learning more about the history of Bethany.

At Bethany, our mission is to change the world starting in Niagara, and as part of our 125-anniversary celebration, we want to give back to our community!
We’ve partnered with Youth Unlimited with a goal of donating 125 care kits to support their Young Moms groups! You can find a list of the different kits and the items that we’re looking to collect by clicking below, and once you purchase your donations, you can let us know by filling out the form and dropping the items off at the connect wall in the foyer.
