We are so very grateful for the opportunity to serve God in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, the city of champions. Since we arrived in Tuscaloosa in 2016, our lives have been changed for the better in ways that we never imagined. It is our hearts desire that you and every person who connects with Bethel Worship Center will find us to be a church that is a house of hope – whether in person or online – that your life would be transformed by the teaching, preaching and singing of the Word of God in love. It is also our hearts desire that your life, your family’s life and the life of your friends and coworkers would be improved as you learn to apply and demonstrate His Word in your daily life.
We encourage you to take advantage of all that Bethel has to offer, from the Bible-based teachings and life-changing conferences and events to the opportunities to serve and use your God-given gifts and talents to serve God and others in our community and abroad.
Sebrena and I thank God always for the testimonies of breakthrough, healing, restoration, and reconciliation that we hear from people who have experienced our ministry, who connected to this church, and who have been a part of our lives. At Bethel Worship Center, we pray and believe that one day your testimony will become one of them, because of your experiences with God through the ministry of this church.
