The express purpose of Bethesda Apostolic
Church is to glorify God, who has given us the highest revelation of Himself in the person
of Jesus Christ. In glorifying God, we enter into public worship services, seeking
to give adequate expression to our profound and dedicated commitment to our Lord and
Savior Jesus Christ, who loved us and gave Himself for our sins.
In our worship, we find meaningful awareness
of His presence with us, and we respond to this awareness with adoration, praise and
thanksgiving. Our worship includes the preaching and teaching of the Gospel
concerning the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ, so as to enlighten the
conscience to the holiness of God, to feed the soul with the truth of God, and to open the
heart to the matchless grace of God.
In our worship service to Christ, we are to
call sinners to repentance, encourage the down trodden, strengthen believers, visit the
sick and incarcerated, uplift and maintain the highest standards of morality, and urge all
believers to seek a spirit filled life. It is essential that we nourish and
cultivate the Christian lives of our parishioners, and that we attempt to meet both
spiritual and natural needs of these and those in our community.
The ministries and auxiliaries of Bethesda
Apostolic Church were initiated to effectuate this purpose.
