WELCOME TO BETHANY

Welcome to Bethany Baptist Church in Altona, IL. We are a church that is committed to Biblical truth and united in Christ’s love. The individuals that make up the community of Bethany Baptist Church have a strong desire to connect with you and serve you. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions. It would be our privilege to answer your questions, and we would enjoy having you join us at one of our services.

We began in 1969 when a group gathered in Mrs. Effie Thuline's home to discuss establishing the church. Pastor John Carlson was called as Bethany's first pastor. God has faithfully blessed Bethany through the years!
