Bethany Chapel

What Bethany Chapel does

Bethany Chapel Community Church is a private, non-denominational, congregational church headquartered at 54 Newbury Road, Manchester, New Hampshire (USA). It is governed by its members and led by a team of paid pastors headed by Pastor Bob McKenney, alongside Pastor Kent Hobi, Pastor Robin Shakal, and Dr. Todd Mellish (who teaches systematic theology), supported by volunteer contributors. The organization serves local Manchester-area residents through Christian worship, fellowship, Bible-based education, and community outreach programs. Its customer base is effectively the local community — segmented into general congregation members, youth in grades 5 through high school, Thursday evening community dinner attendees, and community members in need of material assistance.

The church's core product set includes Sunday worship services at 10 AM (approximately 90 minutes, contemporary and traditional music, childcare for grades 3 and younger), Thursday evening community dinners and worship at 6 PM, youth group on the 2nd and 4th Sundays from 12-1:30 PM, Tuesday Bible studies (in-person at 10:30 AM and Zoom at 7 PM), and a food pantry serving over 100 families weekly on Tuesdays from 3-5 PM, plus homeless outreach and a volunteer program. Education offerings include systematic theology courses, a Revelation Study 2026 series, a 'Reason for the Hope Within You' class, and a three-part membership class. Digital products consist of sermon livestream, an archived media library (organized by series, speaker, scripture, and topic), a podcast series, weekly devotionals published Wednesdays, and a mobile app for community engagement.

Bethany Chapel's revenue model is voluntary donations: tithes and offerings collected in-person during Sunday services, supplemented by online giving through its website and mail-in checks sent to the church treasurer. The underlying technology stack is a SnapPages-built website (bethanychapel.net) with mobile app distribution, podcast hosting, and livestream — primarily off-the-shelf consumer tooling. The go-to-market is community-led, relying on word-of-mouth referrals, personal invitations, and visibility through local outreach programs such as the food pantry and homeless neighbor assistance. There is no disclosed institutional ownership, outside investment, or parent company; the church operates as an independent non-profit religious organization.
