Here are a few of the activities and organizations that we support or partner with to positively impact the San Fernando Valley and beyond.

TWIN VALLEYS LUTHERAN PARISH

Bethel is one of ten Lutheran churches ranging from Santa Clarita to North Hollywood that have joined forces to increase their collective positive impact on the needs of the local communities.

BETHEL'S KITCHEN MINISTRY

If you enjoy cooking with friends, Bethel's Kitchen Ministry offers two opportunities to cook for a cause:

  • Join Mylene and other Bethel members to prepare and distribute breakfast burritos for those experiencing homelessness every Saturday morning. Burrito "build" from 9am to 10:30am, burrito delivery from 10:30am to noon. 
  • On the first Saturday of each month, additional food is prepared to support a  NOHO Home Alliance food distribution event the first Sunday of the month at 11031 Camarillo St., North Hollywood.

If you are interested in volunteering for one or more areas, please contact Mylene.

INTERFAITH SOLIDARITY NETWORK

The Interfaith Solidarity Network breaks down barriers and inspires solidarity among faith communities in the San Fernando Valley by: building relationships across cultures and faiths, educating communities, organizing for peace and justice, mobilizing against intolerance, and embracing principles of nonviolence. 

CENTER FOR ACADEMIC SERVICE-LEARNING

Bethel has partnered with California Lutheran University and its  Center for Academic Service-Learning department to increase, motivate, and enable student involvement in community outreach initiatives while developing them as leaders through experiential learning.

CHRISTIANS AGAINST CHRISTIAN NATIONALISM

As Christians, our faith teaches us everyone is created in God’s image and commands us to love one another. As Americans, we value our system of government and the good that can be accomplished in our constitutional democracy. Today, we are concerned about a persistent threat to both our religious communities and our democracy — Christian nationalism. Click here to read the full statement.
