I too grew up in this church. I have fond memories of so many of the pastors who served there and the people we loved. This church is very good at encouraging people to find their niche and serve Christ. I, along with my husband served as Youth Directors and Sunday School teachers, I also served as Vice President of the U.M.W, and secretary of the Administrative Board. Because of our involvement with the youth of the church, we were called to served as camp counselors at Camp Allegheny. My husband was called to be the first lay person to direct a Camp for youth and I served as Secretary of the Board of Directors of Camp Allegheny. This church encouraged our service beyond the church. We were nurtured in their Sunday School classes, as were our children. Our grandson attended Nursery School at Bethany. I highly recommend this church to anyone looking for a nurturing, disciple making church. I am an ordained elder in the United Methodist Church largely because of the spiritual gifts and graces I was encourged to develope as a growing Christian at Bethany. read more
