Bethany Presbyterian Church

Bethany Presbyterian Church We preach the truth of Jesus Christ and welcome all who seek to know Him. The history of our congregation began over a century ago.

We are here to worship God, study His word, sing His praises,
nurture the growth of Christian hearts,
strengthen our fellowship with each other
and serve all. In the
early 1890s, a group of Christians worshipping in a nearby
schoolhouse decided to divide into two groups: one built a chapel
in Scrapple Town, now known as Fairville; the other moved to
Fairville Station, which later became Mendenh

all. The Mendenhall group incorporated as the Fairville Chapel Association and in 1899, built the main portion of our present day church. For the first 12 years of our existence, the church operated as an independent chapel and Sunday school. Since then, we have made renovations to our facility to accommodate our growing needs. In May 1911, the Chapel Association was received as a congregation into what is now the Presbyterian Church (USA).
​
Most of the early church members were farmers, railroad workers, and
storekeepers. Today, we have a diverse membership
representing a variety of occupations, interests, and
denominational backgrounds. Although our community has changed, some things have remained the
same; we are still a group of Christians who love God and seek
to worship and serve Him.
