What Is Bethany Church in Broken Arrow, OK?

Updated

Bethany Church is a Christian church in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, that describes its mission as "impacting people to experience Jesus." Its website, bethanyba.church, is the church's online hub for planning a visit, watching services, and finding ministries for kids, students, and adults. If you're looking for a church in the Broken Arrow area — or want to check out its teaching online before attending — this is the place to start.

Where and when it meets

Bethany holds Sunday worship in person at two times, and streams one of them online:

Service Time Format
Sunday worship 9:00 AM In person and live streamed
Sunday worship 11:15 AM In person
Online 9:00 AM Facebook Live and YouTube, plus on-demand

The church also notes that last weekend's service is available to watch on demand, and encourages people who have been watching online for a while to attend in person — "It's better in the room."

What happens on a Sunday

Sunday morning is structured around the two worship services, with a discipleship hour in between:

  • 9:00 AM — Worship service
  • 10:15 AM — Bethany Groups (small groups for all ages) and Student Groups
  • 11:15 AM — Worship service

Bethany Groups are described as small-group teaching for all ages, with a group "that's right for you." Student Groups meet at 10:15 AM between the two services.

Ministries for kids and students

Bethany Kids runs during both Sunday services (9:00 AM and 11:15 AM), with Bible stories, games, singing, and dancing. Classrooms are divided by age:

  • Nursery: newborn – 1 year
  • Toddlers: 2–3 years
  • Preschool: 3–5 years
  • Elementary: kindergarten – 5th grade

MidWeek AWANA meets from 6:15 PM to 8:00 PM for verse memorization, games, and Bible teaching, with classes for Puggles (2–3 years), Cubbies (4–5 years), Sparks (K–2nd grade), and Truth & Training (3rd–5th grade).

Bethany Students meets Sundays at 10:15 AM and Wednesdays from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM, with a meal provided on Wednesday nights.

Other ways to get involved

Beyond Sunday services, the site lists several entry points:

Planning your first visit

The site has a dedicated "Plan A Visit" page, which is the most direct way to get information before attending for the first time. If you'd rather see what a service is like first, the on-demand and live-stream options let you watch before deciding to come in person.
