Followers of Jesus Answering God’s Call to Serve

We affirm the Bible as the inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God. It is the foundation for our faith, our values, and our work. Scripture reveals God’s character, His redemptive plan, and His call to love and serve others. While we uphold the inerrancy of Scripture, we recognize that Christians across denominations may interpret it differently.

2 Timothy 3:16–17; Psalm 119:105; Hebrews 4:12

We are committed to the spiritual care and growth of our staff, recognizing that our work is both professional and deeply spiritual. We honor the diversity of Christianity within Bethany and create opportunities for all staff to engage in ways that deepen our unified experience of knowing, loving, and following Jesus.

John 15:5; Romans 12:1–2; Philippians 1:6

We are called to care for the orphan, the widow, and the foreigner. We live out this Biblical mandate by standing in the gap for children who need safety, stability, and love. Our mission to demonstrate the love and compassion of Jesus through quality social services shapes our commitment to walk alongside children and families with dignity, empathy, and hope.

James 1:27; Deuteronomy 10:18–19; Isaiah 1:17

We believe every person is created in the image of God and therefore possesses inherent dignity, worth, and purpose. We further believe God creates human beings in His image as male and female, as determined by biological sex.

Genesis 1:27; Psalm 139:13–16; Galatians 3:28

We believe that all human life is sacred from conception to natural death. We are committed to offering life-affirming options to expectant parents, walking alongside them with compassion, support, and hope.

Psalm 139:13–16; Jeremiah 1:5; Luke 1:41

We believe God designed the family as the primary structure for love, care, and human flourishing. We work to strengthen families and preserve them whenever possible. We affirm the biblical design of marriage as a covenant between one man and one woman, established by God to reflect His love and faithfulness. This covenant reflects Christ’s love and provides a stable, nurturing environment for children.

Psalm 68:6; Ephesians 6:1–4; Proverbs 22:6; Genesis 2:24; Matthew 19:4–6; Ephesians 5:25–33

Since our founding, Bethany has partnered with the local church to live out the Gospel by providing safe and loving homes for children. We believe the Church is God’s instrument for transformation in the world.

James 1:27; Matthew 5:14–16; Acts 2:42–47; Ephesians 4:11–13

We pursue excellence in our work as an act of worship and a reflection of God’s character.

Colossians 3:23–24; Proverbs 22:29; 1 Peter 2:9
