This small-town congregation is comprised about 15% of the Hayes Center population.

Located in the Hayes County Seat, Bethel Baptist Church is in a prime location for outreach to the 900 residents of the county. Most residents of this southwest Nebraska region are employed through ranching and agriculture related fields, however there is an ongoing need for teachers, itinerate nurses and skilled laborers such as electricians, plumbers, CDL drivers, mechanics, and general handymen.

Currently Bethel Baptist Church is able to offer a nice parsonage and a limited financial stipend.
