Bethany United Methodist Church - Austin

The most honest description of being a Christian? Worshiping and doubting at the same time.

Even the disciples had moments of doubt. As Matthew’s Gospel shows us, questions don’t weaken worship—they make it real. Faith isn’t the absence of doubt; it’s choosing to trust God in the midst of it.

Does Bethany have women pastors?

Absolutely. We believe God calls women and men alike to lead, preach, teach, and serve in every area of ministry.

This month, we celebrate the 70th anniversary of women’s ordination in The United Methodist Church. We give thanks for the faithful witness of those who have gone before and for the many women whose ministries continue to enrich and transform the church today.

Are we more attached to our METHODS or our MISSION? Jesus’ point is clear: the wine—the mission—is what matters most. Sometimes reaching people in new ways requires fresh wineskins. ✨

“And no one puts new wine into old wineskins; otherwise, the wine will burst the skins, and the wine is lost, and so are the skins; but one puts new wine into fresh wineskins." — Mark 2:22

May Mission Focus: Diapers for Reveal Resource Center

Drop off a package or case of diapers (larger sizes, please (3-6)) to support local families as we head into summer months with higher utilities and gasoline prices.

Stop asking 'How do we get back to the good old days?' and start focusing on the present.

Are we making disciples? Creating belonging? Equipping young people? Following God's direction?

These are the key questions every church needs to wrestle with TODAY.
