Seeking God.
Connecting with others.
Serving with love.
We are a community rooted in the life and teachings of Jesus—growing in faith through worship, deepening relationships through authentic connection, and sharing God’s love through service. Here, grace is real, community is genuine, and everyone has a place to belong.
As part of the United Methodist Church, we are committed to being open, inclusive, and actively engaged in Purcellville and beyond.

Our Mission
Our mission is to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world. At Bethany United Methodist Church, this calling shapes everything we do—guiding our worship, our relationships, and our outreach as we seek to grow in faith and live it out daily.
We carry out this mission by seeking God in worship, connecting with one another through small groups, and serving the world by sharing God’s love. This simple, intentional rhythm is at the heart of our congregation and defines how we make disciples together.
