We love Bethel. We started coming at the end of 2020 and almost immediately felt at home post Covid. We were able to get involved and volunteer, the kids have grown to love the kids work, and we have developed a strong community of friends too. Plenty of weekly things to do including wings nights, free clothing swaps, worship night and all sorts. There is such a good balance of modern church while honouring Holy Spirit and allowing space for God.

I have been involved with bethel through many years via the community meals program. I have help with serving, greeting, and as well as cleaning up after everything is done. I felt that they were a very caring church. But all that changed in 2021 when I wanted to do a small funeral for my father there. We wanted it small and to have people come in and pay their respects leave and let others do the same. We had talked over a week and a half only to be told to wait and see then told no that they couldn't do it because it wouldn't meet covid restrictions, but they failed to communicate with me and work with me. I've washed my hands of this church and any programs it holds now. The pastors have change and so with the values of the church.

I don't attend this church but I meet my counsellor here once a month and the people I run in to and the staff are always very friendly and welcoming. Seems to have great energy and is also very clean!
