A church council governs Bethel CRC made up of seven elders and four deacons. Elders and deacons serve three-years terms. Our elders care for the spiritual needs of the congregation; this revolves around pastoral care visits in the home or one-on-one. Deacons care for the practical needs of our congregation and beyond. This includes visiting widows, help with financial needs, mobilizing the congregation for mercy ministry, collecting and distributing the offering, and more.

Currently, we have eight active committees: Worship, Social, Facility, Education, Safe Church, Finance, Nursery and Outreach.

• Worship Committee: prepares and implements worship services under the direction of the church council.
• Social Committee: promotes fellowship within the congregation by organizing church lunches and other social events.
• Facility Committee: under the direction of the church council, maintains and  improves the church building and grounds.
• Education Committee: under the direction of the church council, oversees the administration of the church education programs, namely Sunday School, Catechism and Confession classes, Gems and Cadets.
• Safe Church Committee: works to ensure all volunteers pass police checks  and follow our Safe Church policies to ensure the safety of our children. You can read more details on the CRC Safe Church site.
• Finance Committee: advises the church council on the financial needs of the church and other financial matters.
• Nursery Committee: arranges for the safe care of babies and toddlers during the church services and other events.
• Outreach Committee: encourages and mobilizes the congregation to reach out to others with the good news of the gospel.

We have two congregational meetings a year that are open to all church members.
