At the beginning of 2026, Pastor Bruce left us with a year-altering challenge - a question meant to shape how we step into this new year: What will you make of God in 2026?
If our belief is that God is bigger, it will shape our decisions. We won’t place limitations on Him, and we’ll live with greater boldness. We’ll remove barriers, repent where needed, and choose to live in freedom.
As we were reminded, we don’t need God to be bigger - we need a clearer view of who God already is. So join us by lifting our eyes, aligning our hearts, and seeking God in worship and prayer. Let’s journey through 2026 with a clearer view of God, together.
Upcoming Dates:
Tuesday, January 27 at 7 PM
Tuesday, February 10 & 24 at 7 PM

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.

This is a GREAT time to download and begin using the Church Centre App. When you install the app, you will be prompted to search for a church.
Once you add Bethesda within the app, you will be able to access features such as: Registration for gatherings and events, our small group directory, check-in options, and more. Also, we are excited to be adding other features in the future!
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.
