Assimilation Pastor
Tim and Melody Reed

On my knees in a hotel in Las Cruces, New Mexico I surrendered to the call of God to go into the ministry. What a ride it has been! Serving on staff in Texas and the pastorate in New Mexico and Connecticut we bring to the table a unique blend of ministry experience. You are valued and the focus of our ministry efforts. Our heart is to see people come into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and mature into solid disciples.

You need to know you are loved by God and He has a wonderful plan for your life if you would but trust Him. It does not matter what you have done, God loves you unconditionally! (Romans 3:22-24) There is no difference, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. (Romans 6:23) For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 5:6-8) You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. (Romans 10:9-13) If you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame. Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.

We are currently responsible for a wide variety of ministries that reach out and integrate people into the family of believers at Bethany. It is our goal to ensure you have a place to grow in your faith and develop friendships within the congregation. Please do not hesitate to speak to me regarding your involvement here at Bethany.
