FAQs

e-Membership

What is e-Membership?

e-Membership was created for the purpose of those who participate in our church services online via the internet and want to be a connecting part of our church.

Why are we introducing e-Membership?

Though the church is based in Bangalore, every week we have thousands who participate in worship ONLINE from across the globe. Many are listening to past broadcasts during the week. Many of these viewers are committed to Bethel AG Church International Worship Centre. They listen faithfully, sow into the Church, and some even consider Bethel as their “home” church. 

We’ve had many requests from our online viewers for a way in which they can become more connected. Hence we introduced e-Membership.

 

What are the benefits?

As an e-member, you will have the covering of God that is on BETHEL Church in your life.  The Pastors and the church will cover you in prayer just as they do our local congregation. Whether you have a prayer request or a praise report we want to hear about it! 

In addition, only e-Members will have access to some exclusive App features like e-PrayerLine.

How do I become an e-Member?

Simply fill out the form on the next page to let us know that you would like to be an e-Member

How is e-membership different from regular membership?

For Regular Members, the Church takes responsibility to help them with their Spiritual and Social needs like Child Dedication, Weddings, House/Hospital Visits, Funerals etc; provided they abide by the protocols of the church. 

The church will not be able to cater to such requirements for e-Members. We may be able to assist you provided that the e-Members are willing to travel down to Bangalore, India and abide by the protocols of the church. 

Can I both be a regular member as well as an e-Member?

e-Membership is made available only for those who are residing outside Bangalore yet participating in our church online. But if you are residing in Bangalore and are regularly visiting Bethel Church for worship, we encourage you to take a “Regular Church Membership” so we can serve you better.

Can I participate in giving of my offerings or my tithes?

In our worship services, we provide an opportunity for our local members to give their tithes and offerings. We would like to provide our e-Members with the same opportunity to give, only voluntarily. You are in no way obligated to give unless you choose to.

Please Note: We would encourage you to give your Tithes to the local church where you take Holy Communion. You may give you Tithe in Bethel only if you are not connected to any local church and consider Bethel as your “Spiritual Home”
