our affiliations

At Bethel we are not afraid of the word "accountability."  In fact, we want to build healthy relationships that hold us accountable in faith, in doctrine and in the way we do business.
 
That is why we willingly choose to operate our church in a manner that provides accountability to both our pastoral staff, as well as our congregation.  We attempt to hold each other accountable through various accountability structures so as not to bring shame on the name of Christ.
 
But, we do not merely rely on ourselves to keep us accountable.  We also willingly enter into an accountability relationship with the Fellowship of the Assemblies of God.  The Assemblies of God is a fellowship of 12,000 churches across the nation that has its headquarters in Springfield, MO.  This Fellowship is also broken down into smaller districts.  Of these smaller districts we are affiliated with the Illinois District of the Assemblies of God.
 
These two institutions provide us with an outside source of accountability in faith, doctrine and business.
