There is enough love for All of Us
Mt Bethel Church voted change its ministry into a legacy ministry in July, 2022. Since then, we have been sharing our stories together. Through the sharing of stories, we have been thinking about who we are, our faith (discipleship), and what our legacy can be. So far, Darlene, Stephanie, Deb, Thelma, Polly, Judy, Barb, and Ardi have shared their wonderful faith stories and Mt. Bethel’s various ministries.
If you want to share stories, please contact Pastor Hannah Choi.
Our transitional time is not easy, but let us do this together in harmony, humility, and love. So that we can leave our wonderful legacies in a blessed way. Our legacy will be remembered, transformed, and multiplied.

Qualified Charitable Distributions From Retirement Accounts. Or click here to read
Did you know .... that if you are 72 years old, you are required to take money from your Traditional IRA. You can do it as a Qualified Disbursement to Mt Bethel Church. If funds are sent directly from the financial institution to Mt Bethel Church, it becomes tax-exempt. One of our givers recently said they saved several hundred dollars on their tax bill. Example. If you take out $1000, minus tax, you may get ~$800 in your checking account. If you take out $1000, tax exempt, and have it sent to Mt Bethel Church, it will be $1000. It’s a good way to optimize your funds and meet your planned Church giving. This can be done monthly, quarterly or yearly. Talk to your financial advisor. Edward Jones told our FInance Chair “It’s usually a good deal for you, it’s never worse.”
