Bethany United Methodist Church Revenue and Competitors

Bethany is part of the Ellicott City Parish which includes Emory United Methodist Church. The Ellicott City Parish was formed to enhance and increase the effort to spread the good news of Jesus Christ, to improve the quantity and quality of ministries to the community and to maximize the stewardship of the abundance God has granted to the Ellicott City Parish. Each church maintains its own administrative, financial and legal responsibilities and obligations under the guidance of the pastors. However, each church contributes to mutual ministries and projects as each is able. On these pages you'll find contact information for our staff, an overview of Bethany's history, links to newsletters, directions to the church, parking information, and our inclement weather policy.

Parking Our main parking lot is off Bethany lane and extends around to the back of the church. If you are attending the 8am service we suggest you park near our white chapel. Our second entrance is off Postwick Road. We have a small parking lot which has access into the sanctuary through the side doors. This area has a covered drive and is ideal for people in wheel chairs or folks who find stairs or a ramp difficult. Inclement Weather Policy If Howard County Public Schools are cancelled, then all church activities for that day/and or evening are also cancelled. Sunday morning worship services will almost always be held, even if a few inches of snow has fallen. If snow falls on Saturday or into Sunday morning, the contract with our snow removal company requires them to clear our parking lot by 8 am on Sunday. If services are being held, Sunday school classes will be held as well. We may need to combine classes, but we will have Sunday school that day. Sunday services will be cancelled only if the snow is not going to be able to be cleared, or if icy conditions make it dangerous to come to church. If church services are to be cancelled, the telephone answering machine at church will be changed by 7 a.m. that morning. Call the church office at 410-465-2919 and press #9 (directions and times of services). Or you can listen to WBAL radio and local TV stations to hear about cancellations.
