Our desire is to glorify our God and help strengthen your faith in the Lord Jesus Christ by vibrant, relational worship here at Bethel Baptist Church in Yorktown, VA.  No matter what your talent may be, we have a place for you to serve. We also want to serve one another in the process.  We believe that worship is a seven day affair, and that in our worship settings, we bring our personal worship together with brothers and sisters in Christ to form corporate worship.  Worship is experiential, and it does incorporate emotions as well as the entire person, but it must be based in God's perfect Word.  Come join us in what God is doing, get involved... we've got something for you!	Sunday Morning Worship Services 9:00 a.m. & 10:30 a.m.

The Sanctuary Orchestra leads worship from an instrumental perspective in the two Sunday morning services.  This group includes brass, woodwinds, strings, and rhythm instruments.  In addition to accompanying the congregational worship and choir specials, the orchestra also prepares special pieces of music to enhance the worship of God. If God has gifted you in these talents, come use those gifts.  The Sanctuary Orchestra is open to all those in high school and up who have a proficiency in their instruments.  Practices are Sundays from 4:15-5:15pm, Wednesdays from 7:30-8:00pm, and Sunday mornings from 8:30-8:50am.  If you are interested in this ministry, come by and listen.
