The mission of Bethel Chandler Church is the same mission Jesus gave his followers: Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. 

The vision of Bethel Chandler Church is create a community of authentic believers and to witness a city transformed by the life changing reality of the gospel, as people come to know Jesus as their Lord and Savior. 

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 26 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.

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

We believe that a Church should be a reflection of the Kingdom of Heaven! Our multi-ethnic, multi-generational congregation celebrates the differences in people.

At Bethel, we are a spiritual family. As we follow Christ, we help others follow Him, too. As we know Him, we make Him known to the world.

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.
