Pastor Installation Service: Sunday, October 31 : 3:00 pm
Brock Brockway, is being installed as the twenty-ninth pastor of Bethany since 1888. There were thirteen men who served as pastor prior to 1888, when the name Bethany was adopted and the current structure was built.
In those early days, the church was known as The Baptist Church of Bridgeport and then as the South Chicago Baptist Church. Later, Brighton Park Baptist Church merged with the Bethany congregation. As we reflect on the past, we are thankful to God for the faithful people who came before us and with them we cry out in the words of Isaac Watts, "O God our help in ages past, our hope for years to come".
