For Pastors Kent and Denise Bell, this night has personal significance. As parents of a child with special needs, the Bells understand the unique challenges families face. With estimates<\/a> that 90% of families with special needs are unchurched, their desire is to provide a church environment where everyone feels loved and accepted. When guests with special needs arrive at Bethel Life for a worship service they are assigned an “angel\u201d that accompanies them throughout the service to provide friendship, assistance, and support.<\/p>\n

It is out of this heart to serve the felt needs of their community that Bethel Life began\u00a0Loving<\/a>\u00a0Hands<\/a>, a ministry that provides a respite service for families who have children with special physical, intellectual, behavioral or emotional needs. Once a month for three hours, parents are able to enjoy a night off while their children enjoy a time of crafts, games, and fun in a safe, loving environment.<\/p>\n

Pastor Kent shares, \u201cJesus met people at their deepest need. We are called out from the church into the community.\u201d Bethel Life\u2019s ministry is not confined to the four walls of the church. Through ministries like Project Restore<\/a> and Lyndsey\u2019s Home, they are reaching out to those who have been caught in a world of human trafficking and slavery. With regular ministry to nursing homes and prisons, Bethel Life is showing Christ\u2019s love to those who are hurting and broken. The love of Christ compels Pastors Kent and Denise, \u201cWe love them because Christ does.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cFor the love of Christ controls us,\u00a0because we\u00a0have concluded this: <\/em><\/p>\n

that one died for all; as a result all died.\u201d (2 Corinthians 5:14)<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Bethel Life Worship Center is an International Pentecostal Holiness Church exemplifying the IPHC vision to be \u201cA Place of Hope. People of Promise.\u201d<\/p>\n
