Welcome
Welcome to Bethany Beach Christian Church. We invite you to join us in person for Sunday Worship Services at 9:30am. Dress is casual. Whether you are a local resident or simply visiting the Bethany Beach area, we hope you will join us.
Our services are now live-streamed on our YouTube channel. The videos will also be available for viewing afterwards.
For those looking for a place to enhance your faith journey, we encourage you to join us. We are a place of diversity and hospitality and a congregation of different points of view, which give us the opportunity to learn from one another. Bethany Beach Christian Church is a small and friendly church that invites you to join us in celebrating the Word of God. Our pastor bases his sermons on particular scriptures and gives guidance on how to incorporate them in our daily lives.
