Bethel Baptist Church

About this church

Bethel Baptist Church in Sumter, South Carolina, holds two Sunday worship services: one at 9 a.m. in the Sanctuary and one at 11 a.m. in the Family Life Center, with Life Groups meeting at 10 a.m. in the Education Building between them. The church sits on Bethel Church Road between Pocalla Spring Elementary and Furman Middle schools. Music is led by a praise team and worship leaders, and the website says to come as you are, whether in jeans, shorts, or a suit. Wednesday evenings include dinner at 5:45 p.m. in the Family Life Center, a kids gathering, prayer, and Bible study, though the site notes that the Wednesday schedule resumes in the fall.

Life Groups are the main way to connect, with adults meeting to pray and study Scripture together. Other gatherings listed on the site include a Monday evening men's group, a men's breakfast on Tuesday mornings, a monthly women's missions prayer group, a monthly ladies' lunch, a monthly couples' dinner and study at a member's home, and a senior adult luncheon. Kids and youth ministries meet in the Schoolhouse, and Bethel Child Care and Learning Center operates on the first floor of the Education Building. Some groups pause for the summer, so confirm current times on the website or by calling the church office.
