Bethel is moving towards becoming a Reconciling Congregation.  This means that we are actively taking steps to be recognized as a fully inclusive church, a place of safety and affirmation for all who enter our doors.  At a recent congregational vote, the following Welcoming Statement was voted upon and ratified…

The family of Bethel United Methodist Church of Mound, Minnesota loves and values all humanity!  We openly and genuinely welcome and celebrate the individuality and uniqueness of all people, including those:

• Of all sexual orientations

• Of all races and ethnicity

• Living with physical or mental disabilities

• From all nations

• Married and unmarried

• With all expressions of gender identity

• Of all economic means

• Of all ages

We strive as a faith community to genuinely grow together in our love and discipleship.   We view everyone as equal and equally loved in the eyes of our Lord. Welcome home to Bethel, welcome home with love!
