Mission Yearbook - March 23, 2008
Bethany Presbyterian Church
Bethany Presbyterian Church began as a Sunday School Mission at the Washington School, in 1913. The church was a community activity center for decades. In 1942, the Rev. Claud Morton, a Presbyterian Sunday School Missionary, began visiting regularly.
Seventeen Washington Township residents requested 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, where Bethany has remained since.
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 have 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, food kitchens, child care centers, store-front missions and back-to-school uniform drives.
Over the past 60 years the people have never lost the zeal to be in mission, to find hurting places and people and offer ourselves and our resources, in the name of Jesus, to be His hands.
