"In our history at Bethel, there was a line drawn in the sand where we said, 'This is why we're alive, this is our supreme responsibility, our great God-given opportunity to be those who minister to the Lord.' As a church, our entire ministry grew out of that priority. Most everything we've ever learned, we've learned as worshippers," Pastor Bill Johnson said on the church's website.
