Our Stories

Jesus Changes Everything

New Bethel is more than a church, it’s a true community where everyone is welcomed and valued. Through its dedication to making positive changes in the neighborhood, it has become a cornerstone of hope and support. Here, you’ll find a place to belong, uplifted by faith and united in purpose. I am proud to call New Bethel Home.

Howard Garrett

New Bethel has been a space for growth and transformation for me and my relationship with God. I have found a community, especially in the UPraise Dance Ministry, that not only supports my journey in my faith, but cares about me as a person.

Adrienne Lockhart

New Bethel has been such a huge blessing in my life. I found a church home that not only supports my spiritual development, but also offers a loving and welcoming community both within and outside of the church walls.

Every Sunday I look forward to amazing worship and a powerful word that sustains me through the week. New Bethel is an amazing place to worship. God’s anointing is definitely here and I’m grateful to have a community that has supported me through different seasons in my life.

Tolu Adewale

Being a member of New Bethel has been a life-changing experience for me. To be the father, husband, and community member that I aspire to be, I cannot do it without God, a church family, and a pastor. It is a blessing to be part of this loving, welcoming church community, and I pray that others will have the opportunity to share in the joy and connectedness that resides in this house.

Anthony Bardonille

The presence of God rests here consistently not only in worship but in the intentional love shown by the people of New Bethel. Come with an open heart and an expectation to experience God. Through His power, nothing is impossible.

Christian Taylor

New Bethel Baptist Church has been a blessing to me during the more than 40 years of membership. The dynamic biblical preaching and teaching as well as fellowshipping with like-minded believers keeps me coming back for more!
