As members of God’s Creation we are committed to our stewardship of Earth and the celebration of all that God has made! We are living into our calling to Creation Care by involving our whole community in tending to God’s living world. Bethel has a robust Creation Care Program. Please join us in our initiative!

RACIAL JUSTICE

LEARN MORE

TAKE ACTION!

Our objectives are to help educate ourselves & each other to recognize and understand the complexity and implications of racism and racial justice; build relationships that cross race, ethnicity, class, age and LGBTQ+ identity to break through barriers of racism and oppression; work to advance public witness, programs and policies that advance racial justice — locally and globally.

MENTAL HEALTH

LEARN MORE

TAKE ACTION!

We lend support and encouragement to each other regarding mental illness and wellness. We promote understanding and reduce stigma of mental health issues. We explore topics such as grief, caregiver support, adolescent drug use, senior depression, support to veterans and more. We encourage wellness practices including mindfulness, gratitude, yoga, and art and music therapy.

MISSION PROJECTS

& PARTNERS

Every Meal focuses on the food gaps when children aren’t able to receive free and reduced meal programs. Volunteers from Bethel help deliver food to students at neighboring El Colegio to help supplement weekend meals.

Refugee Services resettles persons and families fleeing persecution from around the world to new homes in MN. During Advent, Bethel's "Mitten Tree" is filled with mittens, hats, scarves and coats. This year they were donated to Refugee Services

During the summer members of Bethel collect school supplies for Lutheran World Relief. These supplies are then shipped across the world to schools without basic supplies for children and adults to help continue learning.

TC Habitat for Humanity works to bring affordable housing to the Twin Cities. We build, repair, and sell homes to families affordably. Bethel has worked with Habitat building houses. We look forward to our next project.
