Pictures/photos have been an important part of Bethel's history...at least for the past 60 years or so. The photo albums begun by Mac McElvar and Betty Brown were the first collections in our archives, but these were significantly expanded as digital photography came along. In addition to fully digital collections of pictures, they were used in other projects as well including Photo directories, VBS posters, Minister Posters etc. While some have been available on the web site in the past (and still are), this page provides an easy access to them and others as they are added.

• Bethel Photo Albums - these include the pictures in the "Standard Photo Albums" in Bethel's library as well as a few photo collections from other albums.

• Digital Photo Albums - a set of early digital photos from Jan 1999-June 2003

• Memorial Albums - Albums for Special Occasions

• Ministers Poster - this "poster" has photos of many pastors that have served Bethel in the past century.

• Photo Directories - in recent years, we have had an annual "Church Directory" that includes a photo section of those who gather here (and have been willing to have their picture taken). This page provides access to those photo sections.

• VBS Posters and Pix - During many of the years from 1999 forward, Bethel has had a Vacation Bible School during the summer. At the end of most, a "Remembrance Poster" was created with a group photo of participants. The posters and pictures are provided here as a record of these past events.

• Homecoming Pictures - These pictures from 1959? to 2023 were first gathered for the Homecoming "Online Service" in 2020 during the Covid Pandemic but have been continued with additions from later years.

• Church Service Photos - These pictures were taken in Bethel Church services beginning in March 2020. Their original purpose was to bring the experience of the in-church service to those who were attending Bethel's Online services during the Covid pandemic but have continued with the continuation of the online services
