A More Light Congregation

Bethany Presbyterian Church

The Peace and Global Witness program of the Presbyterian Church (PCUSA) encourages the church to cast off anxiety and fear, discord and division, and embrace our God's mission of reconciliation to those around the corner and around the world; empowering congregations and individuals to become peacemakers themselves. Through the Peace & Global Witness Offering, congregations are encouraged and equipped to find and address the anxiety and discord that is prevalent throughout this broken and sinful world.


The Season of Peace will culminate with World Communion Day, on October 2.   On this day, we celebrate that Christ’s peace extends throughout all creation. Whenever the church gathers for worship, we are assured of Christ’s peace. We celebrate that we are connected, we are loved, and we are not alone.


A gift to the Peace & Global Witness Offering enables the church to promote the Peace of Christ by addressing systems of conflict and injustice across the world. Our congregation will use 25% of this offering to connect with the global witness of Christ's peace. Our Presbytery will retain an additional 25% for ministries of peace and reconciliation. The remaining 50% is used by the Presbyterian Mission Agency to advocate for peace and justice in cultures of violence, including our own, through collaborative projects of education and Christian witness.
