Now as an elder myself and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, as well as one who shares in the glory to be revealed, I exhort the elders among you to tend the flock of God that is in your charge, exercising the oversight, not under compulsion but willingly, as God would have you do it – not for sordid gain but eagerly. Do not lord it over those in your charge, but be examples to the flock. And when the chief shepherd appears you will win the crown of glory that never fades away.
I Peter 5:1-4

Care & Support
At the very heart of our understanding of ministry is the belief that every Christian is called by Christ to be engaged in ministry in Christ’s name. Christ not only calls, but through the Holy Spirit, also equips every Christian with gifts (special abilities) for ministry. As Paul explains so eloquently, not everyone is gifted for or called to the same ministry. But there are Christians at Bethany whom God has uniquely equipped to be a part of the Care Team Ministry.
The Care Team strives to connect parishioners of Bethany United Methodist Church with one of these small group caring ministries of the Bethany family.
