Why Bethany ?
During Jesus' lifetime, Bethany was a little town about 2 miles east of Jerusalem, on the Mount of Olives. Our Lord had close friends who lived there; Lazarus, whom he raised from the dead, as well as Lazarus' sisters Mary and Martha. Bethany was a pleasant place where Jesus was welcome and where he had many friends. The founders of our congregation chose this name for our church because their prayer was that we would always be a place where Jesus' friends could find safety, rest, and long-term friendships.
