Bethel of Mound aims to be welcoming to all.  Even our name reflects this belief and value ... Bethel means "The House of God" and we believe that God's unconditional love is meant for every one of God's children.  

Bethel is also one of Minnesota's Certified Reconciling Congregations.  This means that we have actively taken steps to be a fully inclusive church, a place of safety and affirmation for all who enter our doors.  At a congregational vote in November 2019, the following Welcoming Statement was voted upon and ratified...
