Bethany City Church

Bethany City Church We are building a community whose aim is to live and love like Jesus … We meet at the Bede Tower every Sunday at 11am and 6pm. What kind of church are we?

Bethany City Church is a motley crew of Christians and their friends who come together to worship God. During the rest of the week we use a variety of venues including cafés and a local church – flexibility is central to our philosophy of doing church. Join us on a Sunday and you will meet both established Christians and others who are just looking. Some of us have been Christians for years, other

s have just started the journey, and many are not too sure what they believe. We are quite an international crowd – for example, one of our ‘Alpha’ courses included people from ten different nationalities ! We are an independent evangelical church – not affiliated to any of the big denominations – but we have good relationships with local churches of all kinds and we work together regularly on projects that serve the people of our city. We are neither traditional nor wacky; we seek to live and pass on our Christian faith in a way that is relevant to life today.

Praise God that we can worship him again this Sunday morning as we study the letter to church in Laodicea.

We were blessed on sunday to have 7 baptisms during the service and some amazing testimonies. But what is baptism and why do we do it ?

Baptism is more than a tradition — it is a powerful step of obedience, faith, and commitment in our walk with God. Jesus Himself was baptised and calls believers to follow Him in this act of faith (Matthew 28:19).

Baptism is an outward expression of an inward transformation. It symbolises leaving the old life behind and being raised into a new life with Christ. It is a public declaration that we belong to Jesus and have chosen to follow Him wholeheartedly.

When we are baptised, we are saying:
💧 I have repented and turned to God
💧 I believe Jesus is my Lord and Saviour
💧 I am committed to growing in faith
💧 I want to live a life led by the Holy Spirit

Baptism does not save us on its own, but it is an important act of obedience and a beautiful milestone in our Christian journey. It marks the beginning of a deeper commitment to walk closely with God, trust His Word, and live for His glory.

If you have given your life to Christ and have not yet been baptised, prayerfully consider taking that next step. God is calling His people into deeper faith, greater surrender, and joyful obedience.

“For we were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.” Romans 6:4 (NIV)

Morning. We would love for you to join us this morning.
