&faxnum=0600previewText=&pageText=<h1>A big hello to you </h1><body>on behalf of our wonderful church!<br><br>Bethesda Mt. Nelson was birthed in June of 2000 when both Belinda and I were moved by God to build a 'House of Mercy', (not knowing at the time that Bethesda means just that!) We started in our home and then moved our services to Hobart College, starting on November 12 of the same year.<br><br>Our vision is to see all our people raised up to fulfill that which God has called them to.<br><br>We are a church of expressive worshippers, who desire to serve God by serving each other and serving our community.<br><br>We love each other like family and offer open arms to you.<br><br>We are passionate, powerful and purposed believers who are sold out for God and his message of hope through Jesus Christ. Feel welcome to jump onboard and enjoy the ride!<br><br></body>

Fellowship with the world and its sin-controlled lifestyle is hatred towards God (James 4:4). But if a person is truly seeking truth, God is near and ready to show His love and mercy.
God says 'I desire mercy not sacrifice' (Matthew 9:13). As a house of mercy, our job is to demonstrate God's kindness by practical outworkings of love.<br><br></body><h2>Spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ</h2><br><body>Mark 16:15 says 'Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation.' We, the church, take that as our great commission. God acts on His word, 'the gospel' - which means 'good news'!
