Statement of Purpose/Mission Statement/Greeting:
Mission Yearbook - March 22, 2009

Bethany Presbyterian Church began as a Sunday School Mission of the Washington School District in 1913. The church was a community activity center for decades. In 1942, Rev. Claude Morton, a Presbyterian Sunday School Missionary, began visiting regularly.

Seventeen Washington Township residents asked the Presbytery of Phoenix to organize a church. The first congregation met March 4, 1945. The first building program at 27th Ave and Lane, began with a $10,000 Board of National Missions grant. In 1963, services returned to Washington School while a new campus was built at 35th Ave. and Frier Dr., Bethany's present home.

Begun as a mission effort, served by missionaries funded by the Board of National Missions, it's no wonder Bethany has a strong sense of responsibility to serve others, even as we've been served. Over the years, emphasis has ranged from major efforts in global ministries in India, Malawi, Pakistan and Mexico, to hands-on involvement in local food banks, shelters, child care centers and store front missions.

Tom Lineweaver has pastored Bethany for the past 10 years. With an intention to serve our immediate community, Bethany hosts a small Spanish-speaking congregation, and a small Romanian fellowship. Our facility is a meeting place for numerous Home Owners Associations, a Narcotics Anonymous, and other community groups.

Over the years, Bethany members and friends have never lost the zeal to be in mission, offering ourselves and our resources, in the name of Jesus, to be His hands.
