Bethel Christian Church Washington, DC

Mission:
To support, enrich and develop the lives of the believer,
and enable them to walk in the wholeness that Christ offers.

Vision:
To see lives transformed, and reconciled to the body of Christ.

The Bethel Christian Church-DC was founded by Pastor Darren W. Phelps and 5 faithful, visionary and committed people on August 2^nd, 2008. Pastor Darren gathered people who shared his burden for the hurting, rejected and oppressed of Washington DC and the world. Passionate about ministry and the need to provide a refuge for all people, they prayed for direction and guidance. After meeting in Pastor Darren’s living room, the identity and mission of the ministry began to take shape. For the next few months, these committed people gathered weekly for Bible studies, ministry training, leadership development, evangelism coordinating, street outreach and prayer. After much prayer and discussion, it was decided to begin a weekly service to be held on the first Saturday in August’08. The first major challenge was finding a space to accommodate the first worship service. Because of God’s favor, space in the Luther Place Memorial Church, 1226 Vermont Ave. NW DC was miraculously secured.

The Bethel Christian Church is a vibrant, active and diverse congregation. We are a community rooted in worship, fellowship, diversity, witness, spiritual development, service and justice.
