Mt. Bethel Church

What Mt. Bethel Church does

Mt. Bethel Church is an independent, nonprofit Christian congregation founded in 1855, headquartered at 4385 Lower Roswell Road in Marietta, Georgia (East Cobb). The church operates two Sunday worship services — Traditional at 9:30am and Modern at 11am — supported by HD livestream, an on-demand sermon library, a mobile app (iOS), and the MyMB member portal for engagement and giving statements. The organization runs an extensive ministry ecosystem segmented by life stage, including Kids Ministry (Nursery through 5th grade), Student Ministry (middle and high school), Men's and Women's ministries, Music Ministries (iPraise, Adult Choir, Orchestra), Life Groups, One-with-One Discipleship, and Younique Life Planning.

Beyond worship and discipleship, Mt. Bethel operates three notable fee-based programs that diversify its revenue beyond donations: (1) Mt. Bethel Christian Preschool, a Christ-centered education program for children 15 months to 5 years charging $265-$405/month over 9 months; (2) Parents Morning Out, a weekday drop-in childcare program for children 6 weeks to 4 years at $130-$280/month; and (3) a Recreation Ministry through the Christian Activities Center offering youth sports leagues (soccer, baseball, basketball, flag football, volleyball) at $155-$185/season and adult fitness classes (pickleball, restorative exercise). The church's primary revenue stream remains voluntary tithes and offerings from congregation members, processed via the Kindrid Giving platform with online, recurring, and SMS-to-give options.

Mt. Bethel maintains community-facing missions partnerships with The HOPE Center (Seeds Thrift Boutique), The Table on Delk (serving trafficking-vulnerable women and children), BackPack Blessings (child food insecurity), and hosts GriefShare support groups. Its technology stack integrates third-party SaaS for giving (Kindrid), preschool management (myBrightwheel), video content (RightNow Media), communications (Zoom), worship presentation (Pro-presenter), and web analytics (Google Analytics). The church employs 51-100 staff and is governed by pastoral leadership; no external ownership, venture capital, or parent company is identified.
