Our Mission

The mission of Bethel Gospel Tabernacle Church is to "reach, teach, and release people to impact their world for Christ."

At Bethel Gospel Tabernacle, we believe in spreading hope and the love of Christ throughout the city of Harvey and the Chicagoland area.

Driven by a mission to serve those in need, our church’s outreach programs are a testament to the enduring vision of its founder Harold Arrington followed by Pastor John Arrington. This vision lives on through our current leader Pastor Melvin Flowers and the dedication of our faithful congregation.

We also have a strong focus on discipleship and spiritual growth, providing opportunities for people to grow in their faith and develop a deeper relationship with God. We offer various programs and ministries to meet the spiritual needs of our congregation, including Bible studies, prayer meetings, and fellowship groups.

Our commitment to sharing the gospel and Christ's love is not just a statement of faith but a lived experience that reaches out to touch the lives of many, from the youth to the elderly. It is this spirit of giving and service that defines the church's role in the community and beyond, fostering a legacy of compassion and care that resonates throughout the city of Harvey and the world at large.
