Bethel Harvest Church has always been focused on building a legacy for future generations. Legacy '06 is simply a category to define and encompass all the ministry that is taking place because of the Bethel family. From our new church home, we are building life together through numerous ministries that nurture, disciple, and equip believers from all walks of life and at every age of spiritual growth. Locally, regionally, and internationally, ministry reaching beyond our four walls and across the globe has been constant since the birth of BHC over seven years ago. Even in the midst of an $8 million building project, Bethel has never stepped back in doing the outreach God has called us to do. Legacy '06 captures the essence of the world—changing ministry that is being carried out through BHC. As you take a look at what God is doing and will do as we are faithful to His vision, remember that you may have a role in seeing it come to pass!
