Reaching A City to Touch the World

We envision a church shaped by relationship, reflecting the heart of a relational God,  where discipleship happens through covenant relationship with God and one another.

We value worship, prayer and the Word. Our foundation is Jesus Christ alone.

We believe the church should reflect Heaven. We embrace God‘s heart by celebrating every nation and every generation.

As we follow Christ, we help others follow Him too.  As we know Him, we make Him known to the world.

Pastors Mike and Julie Gowans are the Lead Pastors of Bethel Church in Chandler, Arizona, and there’s nothing else they’d rather do! Getting to wake up every day and serve the Bethel family is their honor and joy. Their driving passion is discipleship… making disciples of Jesus just as He asked, and leading people to freedom in Him. In their 27 years of marriage, God has blessed them with three amazing children (Isabella, Olivia and Michael) and a fluffy, playful Poochon named Max. Mike’s tank gets filled by playing golf, working out and barbecuing on his Green Mountain Smoker. The things that fill Julie’s tank are reading books, interior decorating and sipping glasses of iced tea.

Bethel is part of Every Nation Churches and Ministries, a global family of churches in 81 nations. We exist to honor God by establishing Christ-centered, spirit-empowered, socially responsible churches and campus ministries in Every Nation.
