Mission Yearbook 2008 - March 30
Betania Presbyterian Church

Betania Presbyterian Church, located in Phoenix, has a bilingual multicultural and intergenerational congregation. The theme of our church comes from the Gospel: "Love God and love your neighbor." This is the reason why Betania has developed programs that are centered on structuring an active worship experience, outreach to the community, strong educational opportunities for children and adults, and nurturing the members of the church.

Since 1989 it has been in a partnership with the churches of Orangewood in Phoenix, First in Peoria and Faith in Sun City. Betania session incorporated Betania Community Center as a social complement service where youth and adults are prepared. In a spirit of inclusion and diversity, we also seek to celebrate Hispanic/Latino traditions.

Betania has continued its support to develop the mission "Dios es Amor" as a worship extension with a group of Latin ministers that share time with the Hispanic/Latino community in the west side of Phoenix. Border Ministry Mission through a partnership Project with "Pan de Vida" Presbyterian Church, in San Luis, Río Colorado and Presbyterian Theological Seminary, in Mexicali, Mexico, was established. There have been caravans of members from Betania that bring gifts and supplies to needy families and students. Betania helps the Hispanic/Latino community. Betania’s Food and Clothing Bank, and the "Grupo de Alcoholicos Comienzo" are three projects offering help to needy families. Many of the programs and activities that Betania now provides have to be re-tooled to adjust to the demographic reality. One of Betania’s strengths is that it is debt-free, and has access to land for expansion.
