Who we are
Today, life is full of stress and worry; everyone is so busy and no one has all the answers...at Bethel Stone we are ordinary, imperfect people finding hope and healing that is rooted in God's love for us and nurtured through our relationships with one another. Together we are learning what it means to walk in the way of Jesus and live a life that really matters...because no one should walk alone...come and discover a place where you belong!

Bethel Stone United Church History
History of Bethel Stone
The first pioneers arrived in this community around 1840. They found good soil, plenty of water and an an abundance of oak and pine trees for building and heating purposes.
In 1844 a school was built which also served as a church and the services were led by the menfolk of the community. Before 1864, it was decided that a regular house of worship was needed. The piece of land was donated and most of the work in building the church was done by the people of the community. The final cost of the church was $1,200.
The building was dedicated in 1864 as an Episcopal Methodist church. In 1865, "Bethel", the name given to the church, was put on the Fairfield circuit and remained there for 10 years. In 1875, Bethel joined the Blenheim circuit with Falkland.
In 1884, the Episcopal and Wesleyan churches united to form the Methodist Church of Canada and, once again, Bethel became part of the Fairfield circuit with Burford and Victoria.
In 1918, our circuit became known as the Burford circuit. In 1925, the Methodist, Presbyterian and Congregational Churches united, so Bethel became known as "Bethel Stone United Church". Early February, 1964, the Burford congregation requested permission from Presbytery to form a one-point charge. This was granted on Feb. 5. 1964. After ninety years of association on the Burford circuit, Bethel church was now a separate charge.
Our church is alive and well and still growing. Much more could be said about the life of Bethel church in the last 150 years, but let us say that Bethel acts as a Beacon Light for many miles around and is the hub of all our community!

Bethel Stone United Church Historical Photos
Love me, Lord, just for today
Lord, for tomorrow and its needs, I do not pray; Keep me, my God, from stain of sin just for today. Let me both diligently work, And duly pray. Let me be kind in word and deed, Just for today. Let me be slow to do my will, Prompt to obey; Help me to sacrifice myself Just for today. And if today my tide of life should ebb away, Give me thy sacraments divine, Sweet Lord today. So for tomorrow and its needs I do not pray, But keep me, guide me, love me, Lord, Just for today.
