Ministries

Bethany UCC works with many local and international organizations to help spread God’s love to all. Below are some of the organizations that we are closely partners with.


Church World Services

Church World Service was born in 1946, in the aftermath of World War II. Seventeen denominations came together to form an agency “to do in partnership what none of us could hope to do as well alone.” The mission: Feed the hungry, clothe the naked, heal the sick, comfort the aged, shelter the homeless.

Now 75 years later the mission remains, though where and how we accomplish it has changed dramatically.

Open Door Ministries

Open Door Ministries is a non-profit organization dedicated to helping people regain their lives through supportive services and emergency assistance. Our programs and services are solution-oriented and ministry-minded, including the operation of a homeless shelter, serving daily meals, distributing non-perishable and fresh food, obtaining permanent housing, and acquiring and maintaining permanent jobs.

Open Door Ministries was established in 1995 as a merger of Urban Ministries and the Open Door Shelter.

​Urban Ministries began in 1969 and provided food, clothing, and assisted with financial needs.

The Open Door Shelter began in 1987 and provided a homeless shelter for men, women, and children.

Wounded Warrior Project

Wounded Warrior Project is a charity and veterans service organization that offers a variety of programs, services, and events for wounded veterans of the military actions following September 11, 2001.


Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing.
