About Us
Who we are
The word Bethel means house of God. But we’re not just a pretty building in Rochester’s downtown arts district. Bethel is YOU…where God resides. Our community is full of real people, some with a gritty past, a few who grew up in Sunday School, yet with all genuine testimonies of what God has done in their lives.
We’re a safe place, where you don’t have to be perfect before you walk in the door. Because there was only ONE who was perfect.
Our number one guest is the Holy Spirit. We invite Him to join us whenever we gather, and to move as He wishes. We are a place of healing, restoration, and forgiveness, because where two or three are gathered, He is in our midst.
The bigger picture
We at Bethel recognize that we are a part of a larger, regional body of followers of Jesus Christ – The Church, who can work and pray in unity to effect change in Rochester and Western New York.
God has called us to be an equipping center. We often send out and/or lend ministry teams and teachers to others in support of their ministry and communities. Since we believe that EVERYONE is a minister, people from other churches attend our BMEC classes & Small Groups which give Biblical instruction on how every believer is to operate in the five ministry gifts.
Lifenet Apostolic Network
LAN was created by Apostle Ron A. Domina as a way to network churches and ministries with the purpose of extending the influence of God’s Kingdom, and to counsel and assist those who desire to move into an apostolic paradigm as outlined in Ephesians 4:11.
