Leadership

Pastor Janet and her husband Tracy (Bud) founded Downtown Bethel in 2013 with several other of our leaders to 'equip the body of Christ for the work of the ministry'.  Our heart is to build relationship with each member and with the community so we can see the heart of our Father become the heart of our city.  We find that as we minister identity to each one we become stronger as a whole.  We honors those that have poured into us over the years and one of our main missions is to pour into others in our  congregation, individually, or as a community.  We believe that The word of God is absolute TRUTH.  We believe in the infilling of The Holy Spirit, the gifts of the Spirit operating in the Body of Christ, and that our purpose is to love God and to love people, all people in all situations and in all walks of life.  
Consider this to be an invitation to come visit and see if you belong with us as we endeavor to see Jesus High and Lifted Up in this Mid-Ohio-Valley.
