We welcome all people: our membership includes folks who are straight, LGBTQ, democrat, republican, and independent.  Our building is accessible, and we seek to make our faith accessible as well. Historically, Bethany was a congregation composed of extended families who lived in the area.  Over the last twenty years, we have transitioned to a church where a significant number of members did not grow up here.  We have retained a sense of family, friendliness, and informality.
