Opportunities you don’t want to miss

MEMBERSHIP AT BETHESDA

Church membership is a meaningful step of commitment to a local church family.

Practically, it allows you to participate in important decisions by voting in our Annual Business Meeting on matters that affect the overall direction of our church.
But even more than that, membership is a deeper step into community — it’s choosing to belong, to be known, and to walk alongside others in faith.

To learn more about the official membership process at Bethesda, click below.

YOUNG ADULT ONE NIGHT

Join us Sunday, August 16th at 6 PM for a Young Adult gathering including food, friends, worship and the word - this event is part of our Summer In The City events in partnership with various Young Adult groups across the St. John’s area.

Come as you are!

MUN BUS

We know that it can be so easy to miss out on attending church because of the inconveniences that arise as a student. In 2016 we realized that many of our students were seeking rides to and from MUN campus each Sunday, so we have been providing a bus to help students attend the 11 AM service ever since. 

This is a free transportation service for students/families/individuals who live near or on Memorial Campus.

Once you have the app installed, please log in using the same info you would if you've registered for attending church in-person this past year.

Please take a few minutes to ensure your profile and family information are fully updated. For example, add your birthdates, address, etc.* This is especially helpful to our team in contacting and serving you.

*Please note that this information remains private between yourself and the church staff.
