Founded in 1852, Bethel Baptist Church has stood as a place of worship, community, and hope on the Eastern Shore of Virginia for more than 170 years. Through generations of farmers, families, and faithful servants, one thing has remained the same: Jesus is our cornerstone.
We believe the church isn’t just a building—it’s people. People who have been changed by the grace of God. People who know what it is to walk through hardship.
At Bethel, you’ll find:
Biblical teaching that points to Jesus.
Authentic worship that lifts our eyes to God’s glory.
A caring community where we don't just do church together; we do life together.
A legacy of faith that we’re committed to carrying forward with love, humility, and Gospel courage.
Whether you’ve lived here your whole life or you’re just passing through, you are welcome here. We’re not a perfect church, but we serve a perfect Savior—and our desire is to know Him more and make Him known.
Come as you are. Leave anchored in Christ.
