New Bethel CME |Stephenville

Deuteronomy 6 These are the commands, decrees and laws the Lord your God directed me to teach you to observe in the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess, 2 so that you, your children and their children after them may fear the Lord your God as long as you live by keeping all his decrees and commands that I give you, and so that you may enjoy long life. 3 Hear, Israel, and be careful to obey so that it may go well with you and that you may increase greatly in a land flowing with milk and honey, just as the Lord, the God of your ancestors, promised you.4 Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.[a] 5 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. 6 These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. 7 Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. 8 Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. 9 Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates.

Dr. Broderick L. Sargent Sr. D.D., Pastor

Welcome

New Bethel is a Christian Methodist Episcopal Church. Our mission is diversity, equity and inclusion. New Bethel CME Church of Stephenville, Texas is a diverse group of people who cares about the environment, justice and each other as we come together to make a collective impact on the the world and community we service. That is the heart of who we are.

Under the leadership of our pastor Dr. Broderick L. Sargent, D.D., our vision is to be a transforming church for Jesus Christ in a changing world with an emphasis on serving individuals and multigenerational families. We live in a world of great diversity, gender, race, culture, age, sexual orientation, abilities, skills, experience, values, hope, fears and dreams. In human diversity we see strength, the uniqueness that each of us can contribute to the greater good. (Acts 17:26) It is within this greater context of unity, human diversity rightly appears.
