What Partners Are Saying

  • “Many church planters launch out on God's mission for their lives without a significant support and accountability structure which often leads to burnout, poor choices, or even moral failure. What I love about the Bethel Network is the mutual accountability and support it brings to its church planters. We work as a team, so we share the work load and keep one another in check theologically, pragmatically, and morally.” – Chris Funkhouser, Pastor, The Pathway Church, Collinsville IL

  • “With a clear vision of planting and revitalizing churches, maintaining doctrinal integrity and displaying an evangelistic heart, The Bethel Network is [the] church planting partner we have been looking for for a long time. ” – André Dobson, Pastor, Calvary Baptist Church, Alton IL

  • “God is beginning a great work through The Bethel Network, and it is exciting to see even now the results of their selfless service in His name!” – Dr. Rick Patrick, Calvary Baptist Church, Alton IL

  • “We are not in competition with each other. Rather, we celebrate with each other as we mark success in making disciples.” – Tim Lewis, Senior Pastor, Bethel Baptist Church, Troy IL

  • “Our city asked if we would help a family clean up their yard. As a result of that afternoon’s worth of work, the homeowner, a disabled veteran, has attended The Pathway Church. His niece’s three children attended our VBS in the Park in June.” – Pastor Richard Rea, The Pathway Church, Collinsville IL
