Life in today’s fast-paced world can feel lonely. Between work, school activities, and endless errands, many families in Monroe, Louisiana, struggle to build meaningful friendships. If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. Many families are searching for authentic relationships and a sense of belonging.
At Bethel Church, we believe God created us for connection—both with Him and with one another. Our church family is here to help families like yours move from feeling isolated to being deeply connected. Whether you’re new to the area or simply looking for a fresh start, Bethel Church in Monroe offers a warm, welcoming place for you to belong.
A Place to Belong
We’ve seen countless families find their place here. One example is Rickey and Kimberly Butler, who recently moved to Monroe knowing no one.
“Walking into Bethel felt like being amongst family,” Kimberly shared. “Within weeks, we had members inviting us over to fellowship and checking in on us regularly.”
Jesus modeled what true community looks like—people caring for each other, sharing life’s ups and downs, and growing together in faith. That’s the kind of community we’re building here in Monroe.
If you’ve been searching for a “church near me” that helps you build meaningful relationships, Bethel Church is here for you. Below are practical steps to help you and your family connect and find your place in our church community.
Join Us on Sunday Morning
Your first step toward connection starts with attending a Sunday service. From the moment you walk through our doors, you’ll be greeted with genuine smiles and warm welcomes.
Sunday Schedule:
- Coffee and Conversations: 9:30 AM in the Fellowship Hall
- Sunday School: 10:00 AM
- Worship Service: 11:00 AM
Parents can check their kids into our safe and fun children’s ministry, where they’ll make friends and learn about Jesus in an engaging environment.
During the service, enjoy meaningful worship and an encouraging, practical message from our pastor. Afterward, stick around to meet other families and church members. Many lasting friendships begin right here, during post-service conversations.
If you’re ready to take the first step, we’d love to see you this Sunday at Bethel Church.
Find Your Group
Life is better together. Small groups at Bethel Church are where real friendships flourish. These weekly gatherings of 8–12 people create space for sharing life, studying God’s Word, and supporting one another.
We offer small groups tailored to your season of life:
- Young families
- Couples
- Singles
- And more!
Most groups meet in homes across Monroe, making it convenient to find one near you.
One small group member, Lora, shared:
“Our group has become our family. They’ve celebrated with us during good times and prayed for us through challenges. We feel so blessed to have found them.”
