Bible Teaching

Join us at Bethel Church of the Brethren on Sunday mornings at 11am in New Middletown, Ohio for our traditional one-hour service!

My family has grown so much in the Lord at Bethel Church of the Brethren. The teaching is from the Bible and the people are kind.

I've been a member all my life and just love how the Bethel Church of the Brethren congregation cares for one-another. For me, loving Jesus is about loving people!

Studying the Bible has become easier for me as we learn together at Bethel Church of the Brethren. Reading verse by verse is helpful! I had never heard of expository (verse by verse) preaching before!
