Partner Congregations

To ensure that all the people served by Bethesda have the opportunity to develop their Christian faith and education, Bethesda has long-standing and emerging ministry relationships with congregations in the community. These congregations work with Bethesda to provide a welcoming spiritual environment for people with developmental disabilites. You can read about one such congregation in Bethesda's success story, Not Only Invited, But Involved.

If you don't see a congregation listed in your area, contact one of our Parish Ministry Consultants.
