Bethel Baptist Church

Baptist Church has been meeting in Spanaway, WA since 1952. Spanaway is a city of 19,000 people, on the border of Tacoma and Puyallup. We are five miles from the beautiful Pacific Ocean and just 25 minutes away from Seattle's airport.

Bethel Baptist Church is a vibrant, growing church with a heart for the community of Spanaway. We have been blessed to plant a daughter church, Bethel Chinese Baptist Church (BCBC), on the other side of town.

In 2008 we experienced an incredible time of growth and revival in our church: for the first time we had more than 100 in worship on Sunday mornings. In 2008 we also completed construction on our Christian Education building. We are a strong, growing church that has been blessed with many wonderful people.

Our church is active in helping plant other churches, supporting missionaries both in our area and around the world, and working with the local community of Spanaway to help meet their needs. 

We are also united with three other churches in the Olympic District of the Northwest Baptist Conference (NBC). The Olympic District is an NBC district that stretches from Hoquiam to Seattle. The Olympic district is led by Rev. Gregg Billing, of the Bellingham Japanese Baptist Church.

Each summer we spend two weeks involved with our NBC District Youth Camp at Camp Sound on Orcas Island. During this time the youth and leaders of Bethel, BCBC, Bellingham Japanese Baptist Church, and First Chinese Baptist Church enjoy each other's company and learn about God's love for them.

We are a church that is proud of our local roots and proud of our mission to reach those in need. We are especially proud that we have taken the time to get to know each other and become friends, both in the small group time of Bible study and in our community service.

Bethel Baptist Church is led by Pastor Carl Jenkins who also serves as one of our pastors on staff at Bethel's sister church in El Cajon, California - Reverend Carl Jenkins Jr. Pastor Jenkins has been with Bethel since 1995.

Bethel Baptist Church is part of the International Fellowship of Christian Churches and Affiliates, which includes The Churches of Christ, as well as others in some countries. The Fellowship is also known as "The First American Church" and "The Disciples Movement".

OUR CONNECTIONS AND DEVOTIONAL SERVICES

The congregations at Bethel Baptist Church are united as a family in Jesus Christ, who worships there. All members of our churches participate in the daily programs and activities together.

We believe in the sanctity of human life and we place special emphasis on protecting the life of unborn children, which is why we hold weekly prayer circles to support those who are pro-life.

We cooperate with other churches, such as Bethel's sister church in El Cajon (CA) and (World Harvest Outreach Center in Yakima, WA to provide programs, seminars, and outreach.

Bethel's congregations hold weekly services on Sundays at 10:00am and 6:00pm.

Our church currently meets in a High School gymnasium where we can accommodate a family of 1,000 plus easily. The school we use is located at 826 E Redondo Ave, Spanaway, WA 98387.
