ABOUT US

New Bethany United Church of Christ was organized under the name Muddy Cross Christian Church in 1876. Our forefathers conducted services of praise and fellowship here for ninety-five years. On September 29, 1968 a new church was built at the present location and named Bethany Christian Church. After an addition was added to this newer facility, our church was renamed New Bethany Christian Church. Here we stand as fabric of hope, love, joy, peace, kindness, and faithfulness produced by the Holy Spirit. 

OUR VISION

Equipping the saints for ministry and building up the body of Christ for service.

Ephesians 4:12

OUR MISSION

To equip the body of believers to be involved in serving and bridging the gap between the community and the church through worship, discipleship, fellowship, stewardship, evangelism and missions.
