Bethany Baptist Church
BROAD BROOK, CT
At Bethany Baptist Church...
We desire to see the lost come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ, to help them to become more like Him, and to equip them to carry the good news of the gospel to others. We believe that God has called us to reach the lost of East Windsor, surrounding communities, and the world with the Gospel of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Toward this goal of seeing God glorified and the Great Commission fulfilled, we work to establish churches in the USA and abroad, support Camp Northfield and its staff, and support missionaries who serve in foreign lands as teachers, mentors, and church-planters.
Additionally we disciple new believers in God's Word. We have a 10-week Bible study that is designed to ground a new believer in the fundamentals of scripture including the assurance of salvation, forgiveness of sin, victorious Christian living, how to pray, and more. This Bible study is designed "For the perfecting [fully grown, mature] of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying [to build spiritually] of the body of Christ" Ephesians 4:12.
We believe:
The Word of God is for everyone.
There is only ONE living and true God.
The Word of God is true and without error.

MCNALLY
Senior Pastor
On a Sunday evening in the spring of 1975, I attended a children’s program at a Baptist church in Windsor Locks, Connecticut. While listening to the teacher speak of Christ and what He did for me on Calvary, I realized that I was a sinner and needed forgiveness. I knew then, even as a young boy, that I wanted to spend eternity with Jesus in heaven. It was there that I accepted His gift of salvation and received Him as my personal Lord and Savior.
In the summer of 2004 I accepted the call of God on my life to serve Him full time. My family and I moved to Pensacola, Florida, in the fall of 2005 so that I could pursue a degree in theology. I graduated from Pensacola Christian College in May of 2012. I praise God for the grace and mercy that He has bestowed upon my family. We are thrilled to be back in New England serving Him.

MCNALLY
Assistant Pastor
It was on October 28, 1974, while living on Bass Drive in Enfield, Connecticut, that I accepted Jesus Christ into my life as my personal Lord and Savior. Four years later in 1978, I surrendered my life to preach God's Word and left for Chattanooga, Tennessee, where I attended and graduated from Tennessee Temple University.
There is an overwhelming desire in my heart to see people come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ and to know Him in a personal way through His wonderful plan of salvation. I would like to invite you to visit Bethany Baptist Church and hear the "Good News" of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
