Anna’s story

“I wanted forgiveness and heaven, but I thought doing what God wanted would make me unhappy”

I desperately wanted all the good things being a Christian has to offer; forgiveness, heaven, etc., but I didn't want to do anything that was too difficult or uncomfortable for me. I thought doing what God wanted would stop me being happy. But it’s funny how things turn out, isn't it? My biggest fear came true and yet I am happier than I ever dreamed I would be. I know I can trust God with all my fears; knowing and trusting him is the happiest place to be. He made us as people who will only ever be truly satisfied and happy when we find our satisfaction and happiness in him.

Children and youth
There's plenty in Bethel for children of every age. There's a Sunday school with classes for nursery, infants and juniors. On Sunday evenings there's an after-church meeting for teenagers. In the week there are children's clubs after school: Adventurers for children in nursery and infants, Discoverers for juniors, and Impact for those in High School.
