“A sanctuary for Him to meet humanity” These words from Bethel New York’s website resonated deeply. Standing before Bethel Evangelical Church I felt the weight of that mission. Bethel New York isn’t just a building. It’s a testament to faith. It’s a beacon of hope in the heart of New York City.
Established as a church plant of Bethel Redding in California Bethel New York opened its doors in September 2023. Pastors Joel and Sarah Power along with their children led the charge. They answered a divine call a spiritual experience similar to Paul’s vision in Acts 16. This wasn’t just a relocation. It was a mission to bring revival and reformation to this apostolic city.
The church’s vision is expansive. It aims to host God’s glory to transform lives both individually and communally. Bethel New York believes in miracles signs and wonders. Prayer is central to their beliefs. They emphasize a personal intimate relationship with God. The church seeks to reach all walks of life awakening people to their destinies. They want to see Heaven on Earth.
Bethel New York is more than just Sunday services. They hold worship nights. They offer prayer and ministry for physical healing. They’re deeply involved in missionary work supporting over 30 programs both locally and internationally. They believe in the importance of spreading the gospel.
The church’s leadership team is diverse and passionate. Joel is a visionary leader. Sarah focuses on prayer and intimacy with God. Rebecca Couper and Beth Regattieri also play vital roles. The team seeks to build a legacy to equip believers for revival.
The church is located at 166 West 92nd Street. It’s a place where people from all backgrounds are welcome. It’s a place where jeans and tuxedos coexist. It’s a place where children are cared for through Kidz J.A.M.
Bethel New York isn’t just a church. It’s a movement. It’s a testament to the power of faith. It’s a place where the personal regional and global expansion of God’s kingdom is pursued with passion and unwavering dedication. It’s a place where hope takes root and flourishes in the heart of a bustling city.
