Ateam is comprised of many small teams and groups of people that together help us accomplish a lot. Browse the teams below to see what interests you.

Prayer Team
The Prayer Team assists the mission of Bethany by preparing the atmosphere through prayer and intercession before and during the services.

During the message, prayer team members intercede for our pastor (and any communicator) as he speaks. Members also confidentially pray for any requests received during the week. We are committed to prayer for our pastors and church daily.

Culture

- Through prayer, lost people find their way back to Jesus.
- Through prayer, believers are encouraged and strengthened to fulfill Christ’s commission in Mark 16:15-18.
- We are joyful and happy intercessors!
First Impressions
The First Impressions Team helps to create a clean and pleasing environment for anyone stepping onto a Bethany campus. From the grounds to the bathrooms, this team is focused on the aesthetics of the building.

First Impressions team members arrive before attendees and “sweep” the building before services, tidying unorganized areas and identifying aesthetic needs.
