Bethany UMC is a neighborhood church that feels like a family, and looks like a church! We practice the United Methodist slogan -
"Open hearts, Open doors, Open minds". You will be warmly welcomed here whether you come with toddlers or by yourself. In this church you have permission to laugh! We have a thriving food bank that serves our community, along with other Programs & Activities of interest
. Recently, we have installed a new sound system along with two large video monitors to aid in worship and singing hymns. Bethany United Methodist Church celebrated our 110 year anniversary in 2014. We have a long history serving the community going back to 1904. I want to personally invite you to our
Sunday Worship Service that begins at 11:30AM. We are located one block south of south 56th street on Park Ave. in Tacoma, Washington. A Safeway store is 1 block north. Our address is 5634 South Park Ave., Tacoma, WA 98408. We have curb-side parking in front of the church along with two small parking lots in the rear. Here are a few things to help you during the worship service:
We welcome children at the worship service. If at any time you would feel more comfortable if your little ones were in the nursery, an usher would be glad to direct you. We do have some people here with allergies, so the next time you come, we request that you refrain from wearing fragrances. Although our building appears very large from the outside, the sanctuary is surprisingly modest by today's standards and thus projects a more intimate feeling with your fellow attendees. You may enter either from the front or through the right side double glass doors and walk up one flight of stairs. We also have a wheelchair ramp accessible from the left rear (south) parking area. The rear of the building hosts many meeting rooms and offices as well as our Children's Nursery, and Friendship Room where we meet after every Sunday service for food and refreshments. Come join your voice and talents to ours. Make worship a joyful noise unto the Lord!
