Dedicating your child expresses your heart as parents to nurture their spiritual life. Through this commitment, you are choosing to raise your child in the ways of the Lord, to encourage regular participation in church and to lovingly lead them toward knowing Jesus Christ personally from an early age.

The next opportunity for Child Dedications is Sunday, November 15th. To have your child(ren) dedicated on this upcoming Child Dedication Sunday, please complete the Child Dedication Application below by November 8th.

If November 15th doesn’t work as a date for your child to be dedicated, the next opportunity will be January 24, 2027.

Save the date for a Night of Gratitude at Bethel Downtown Centralia on Wednesday, November 18th, at 7pm! We will gather together as one church in prayer and worship, giving thanks to God for His goodness and faithfulness. We look forward to seeing you there!

Night of Gratitude will be in place of our regular midweek gathering for both adults and youth at the Chehalis campus. There will also be no kids classes for Elementary and younger on November 18th. We invite you to have your kids join you for the Night of Gratitude gathering.

Don't miss our special Christmas event just for ladies ages 12 to 112! It's happening Thursday, December 3rd, from 6-8:30 pm at our Bethel Chehalis campus.

Join Pastor Jeannie and the women's team as they introduce us to Bible teacher Melissa Spoelstra for Prepare Him Room. This virtual event is an invitation to intentionally make space to seek Jesus amid the holiday rush! Discover that the Christmas story is better than we’ve ever known as you dive into the joy of Jesus' birth all over again! Join us as we celebrate  and embrace the true meaning of Christmas. 

There will be Door Prizes, a "Salt & Light Challenge" Drawing and Yummy Desserts!  This is a no cost event, however there will be a free will offering received. Bring a friend, bring your sisters, your mamas, your daughters, your neighbors, your neighbor's daughters...get ready for Prepare Him Room!

Prepare Him Room this season—your heart will never be the same.

For those who might not have any kids performing in the musical, consider joining us for a regular gathering in the East Auditorium at 8:30am, or at our Downtown Centralia campus at 9:30am! This allows us to make space in the West Auditorium for family members coming to watch the kids perform in the musical.

The Meaning of Baptism

To be baptized is to clothe oneself with Christ (Mark 10:38-39; Luke 12:50). Christian baptism is in a sense a sharing of his death and resurrection and all that brought Christ to those events (Romans 6:1-7; Colossians 2:12). Baptism shows that a person has died to the old way of life and has been raised to a new kind of life – eternal life in Christ (Matthew 28:19-20; Colossians 3:1; 2 Timothy 2:11). The resurrection from the water points to the Christian’s resurrection (Romans 6:1-16).
