Local missions and outreach
Recently, several members of Bethany had the opportunity to reach out to people in need in our local community. Several of our Youth worked together to make sandwiches for sack lunches to be taken to St. Vincent's Hotel. The children made placemats for the House of Bread. The final and culminating experience for a month-long focus on Faith In Action came when several of our members spend a Saturday at St. Vincent's Hotel helping out with the daily laundry tasks.International Missions

Jay Henry came to us just a few years ago and reminded us of the dire need for Christianity in his homeland of India. Some of us have known J. and his wife Romola since their college years at Cincinnati Bible College. They have been faithful educators and leaders in the Mid India Christian Mission. Our mission dollars help pay for living expenses for Jay and Ramola who teach and preach in their native land.

Butler springs christian camp
The Butler Springs Christian Camp near Hillsboro is near and dear to many hearts in the Bethany family. Our people, young and old, have spent a lot of time there in the spring, summer, fall and even in the winter if they choose to do so. The camp is open all year and is only about seventy miles from “home”. The camp is designed to teach and nurture young and old in the fear and admonition of our Lord. But above all, the happy times and loyal friendships produced there often have lasted for a lifetime, and the Bethany Church of Christ has been deeply influenced through the years because of the influence of the “camp”.
the navigators
The Navigators works alongside local churches, by providing resources such as Bible study booklets and study aid materials, Scripture verse memory aids, and Christian books. These are produced through the organization's NavPress publishing group. It also supports full-time workers who mostly work within local churches. Currently more than 4,000 Navigator staff of 63 nationalities minister among college students, military personnel, business and professional people, communities, and churches in 110 countries.
