Worship Leader

Sarah oversees music and worship planning with a focus on congregational participation. She encourages both skill and servant-hearted leadership in the worship ministry.

"Music should help the whole church sing truth with confidence and gratitude."

Community Coordinator

Matthew helps organize outreach events, volunteer projects, and partnerships that connect Bethel's mission to practical community care across Minto.

"We want our neighbours to experience the love of Christ through consistent, visible service."

Faithful Service Behind the Scenes

Bethel Baptist Church is strengthened every week by volunteers who teach children, prepare meals, welcome guests, maintain the property, organize outreach, and pray faithfully for the church and community. Their work often happens quietly, but it is essential to the life of the congregation.

We are grateful for men and women of every age who give their time with humility and consistency. Their service reflects the biblical picture of the church as one body with many gifts, all working together for the glory of God.
