Discipleship
Mission Opportunities
At Bethel, our mission is to help people be disciples - life-long learners & followers of Jesus Christ. Discipleship means God awakening disciples from head knowledge of the faith to "heart life."
A "disciple" is one who is walking on the road with Jesus to find out about Him; a seeker of divine Wisdom; a follower of Jesus; a learner; even from the very moment that someone begins asking questions about Jesus, they are on the path of discipleship. |

When Wayne was released from the hospital after suffering a debilitating stroke, he came home to an empty apartment – no bed, no furniture, no dishes. God led Wayne to Bethel Lutheran in Gurnee, who referred him to Love INC. He didn’t know it was just the beginning of his relationship with Love INC, and the transformation God would make possible through our partner churches. Click here for Wayne's story.

Bernie's Blessing Coat, Glove, Hat & Shoe Drive
We collect coats, gloves, warm hats and men's shoes for Bernie to distribute on the streets of Chicago on Christmas Eve. For over 25 years the people of Bethel have donated many, many coats that are given to the homeless who are out in the cold and bad weather. Check back in November for how we can all donate warm gloves, warm hats and men's shoes of all kinds. Contact the Bethel office at 847-244-9647 with any questions.
