Mission Trips
Members at Bethel regularly participate in mission trips through prayer, giving and going themselves. All contributors toward mission trips may receive contribution credit if the trip has received church approval as a worthy vehicle for accomplishing the church's mission to evangelize the world. Such requests for mission trip approval must first be submitted to the church's Missions Committee. For more information, please call the church office at 329-3749 or e-mail bethelstaff@bbcnorman.com.
Missions Organizations
Cooperative Program
Each year Bethel prayerfully decides how much of our undesignated gifts will be committed to reaching people in Oklahoma and around the world through the Cooperative Program of the Southern Baptist Convention. At present 9.5% of our budget is designated for CP funds which include the following array of ministries: 10,000 International and North American missionaries, six Southern Baptist seminaries, the Annuity Board, Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission and many camps, collegiate ministries, volunteer missions and missions education.

Lottie Moon Offering
 This is the annual Christmas offering taken every year in December which is used solely for international missions. No portion of the offering is spent on administrative costs; all gifts go directly to mission projects of the International Mission Board. This offering was named after a missionary to China.

Annie Armstrong Offering
This is the annual Easter offering taken every year in March/April which is used solely for missions in North America. No portion of the offering is spent on administrative costs; all gifts go directly to mission projects of the North American Mission Board. This offering is named after a tireless supporter of missions, Annie Armstrong, who lived in the early 1900's and rallied churches to give more, pray more and do more to reach people for Christ. Bethel's goal for 2009 is $4000.00. For more information on the North American Mission Board and the life of Annie Armstrong, click here.
