1275 Pawtucket Avenue
Rumford, RI 02916
Bethany is conveniently located in the Rumford section of East Providence and is easily accessible from Providence, Seekonk, Pawtucket, Barrington, and surrounding communities.
Parking
Free parking is available around the side and rear of the church building.
Accessible parking spaces are located near the wheelchair-accessible entrance.
Entering the Building
Most visitors enter through the front entrance and proceed upstairs to the sanctuary.
If you require step-free access, a wheelchair-accessible entrance with a ramp is available at the rear of the building.
Arriving Early
We recommend arriving 10–15 minutes before the 11:00 AM Sunday Worship Service.
This gives you time to park, meet our greeters, locate the sanctuary, and become familiar with the building before the service begins.

If you need assistance when you arrive, please call the church office or let us know on your Plan Your Visit form.
A member of our welcome team will be happy to assist you.

If you have accessibility, mobility, hearing, or other accommodation needs, please let us know before your visit whenever possible.

Save Our Contact Information
Save Bethany’s phone number and email address before your visit so you can easily reach us if you need directions or assistance while you’re on your way.
Your First Sunday
Before the Service
When you arrive, our greeters will welcome you and help you find your way around the building.
If you’ve completed a Plan Your Visit form, we’ll do our best to be ready to welcome you personally.
Before Worship Begins
Take a few moments to meet others, enjoy a friendly conversation, and find a comfortable seat before the service begins.
If you have children, our greeters will be happy to help you locate the nursery or Children’s Discipleship Classes.
During the Worship Service
Our Sunday Worship Service includes worship through music, prayer, Scripture reading, and a biblical message centered on Jesus Christ.
We encourage everyone to participate as they feel comfortable. You’re welcome to sing, pray, and worship with us, but you will never be pressured to participate in any way that makes you uncomfortable.
During the Message
The sermon is rooted in Scripture and focuses on practical application for everyday life.
Sermon notes are available each week for anyone who would like to follow along or take notes.
Communion
On the first Sunday of each month, we celebrate Communion together.
As part of the Church of the Nazarene, we practice an open Communion table. If you have placed your faith in Jesus Christ or are sincerely seeking Him, you are welcome to participate.
Participation is always voluntary.
After the Service
Many people remain after the service to visit, encourage one another, and welcome guests.
We’d love the opportunity to meet you, answer your questions, and help you learn more about Bethany.
Your Next Step
If your visit has been encouraging, we’d love to help you continue your journey.
Consider attending one of our Discipleship Classes, completing a Connection Card, exploring the Learning Center, or speaking with one of our pastors.
Whether your first visit lasts one Sunday or becomes the beginning of your church home, we’re grateful you chose to spend part of your day with us.
We’re Here to Help
If you have questions before your visit, we’re here to help.
Whether you’d like more information about our worship services, children’s ministry, accessibility, or simply want to know what to expect, we’d be happy to hear from you.
