SPRING 2026
Springtime at Bethany Church: A Season of Growth and Greater Purpose
Dear Members and Friends of Bethany Church,
As spring returns and new life blossoms all around us, we are reminded that each season offers a fresh opportunity to heed God’s call and trust in His purpose for our lives. While the cycles of nature may seem familiar, Bethany Church continues to move forward with renewed focus and a steadfast commitment to building the Kingdom.
In this edition of our quarterly newsletter, I want to reflect on the words found in Matthew 4:1-9: “Do not put God to the test.” This scripture guides us as we journey through changing times, reminding us of the importance of trusting in God’s wisdom and not seeking shortcuts or testing His faithfulness. Instead, let us be diligent in our obedience and unwavering in our faith.
It is with great joy and humility that I announce an exciting development for our community. Bethany Church has been appointed as the headquarters of the Harvest Conference of the Free Methodist Church. This honor recognizes our dedication and leadership, as we are now entrusted with supporting and connecting more than 50 churches across Western Pennsylvania and West Virginia. This new responsibility will allow us to play a vital role in strengthening our fellowship, sharing resources, and encouraging spiritual growth across the region. It is a testament to how God uses our collective faithfulness for a greater purpose. Together, by heeding God’s call and trusting in His guidance, we will continue to serve not only our local congregation but the wider community of believers.
As we move into this season of growth, let us remember that our mission remains the same: to love, to serve, and to build the Kingdom. I am deeply grateful for each of you and invite you to join me in prayer and celebration as we embrace this new chapter in the life of Bethany Church!
Blessings in Christ,
Pastor Adam
