Bethany Christian Church is a Richmond congregation in the Disciples of Christ tradition with local roots dating to 1890 and a presence at its current home since 1959. The church centers its Christian identity on Jesus of Nazareth as Christ while approaching scripture as a guide for faith and daily living, with space for personal interpretation led by God’s Spirit. Bethany describes itself as a family of faith devoted to worshipping God, deepening faith, sharing the gospel, and serving where Christ leads. Its longstanding history, theological openness, and emphasis on worship, growth, witness, and service shape its role within both the city and the broader regional Disciples community.
