Rebuilding Lives on the Foundation of God's Word...

In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord. And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit.

~Ephesians 2:21-22

Thank you for visiting the website of Bethel United Methodist Church. We are located at 63 W. Main St. in downtown Mascoutah, Illinois. We have two worship services on Sunday morning - a contemporary service at 8:45am and a traditional service at 10:15am. We would be honored to have you join us some Sunday to worship the Lord of the Universe, Jesus Christ.

When you visit Bethel you will find a small, growing, and vibrant community of believers who really care about God's Word and other human beings. While there are many wonderful large churches in the Metro East area, more and more people are finding that they enjoy the more intimate worship setting that Bethel provides, as well as the fact that when they come they are not lost in the crowd.

Encounters with God

God is at work all around us all the time, whether we recognize it or not. But there are certain times in all of our lives  when something powerful happens, and we realize that God has undoubtedly made Himself known to us. During worship on Sunday mornings in the months of September - November, we're going to be looking at encounters with God found in the gospel of John, chapters 2-5. Please bring your Bible and join us! If you can't make it, feel free to listen online at here. Hope to see you on Sunday!
