Marriage Conference

Marriage Conference

Bethel Church (map)

This weekend is designed with YOU in mind! It will be a fun and refreshing mix of laughter and wisdom with our special guest speakers, Dan & Rebekah Metteer, as they offer encouragement and tools to dig down deep and build (or keep building) your marriage on a strong foundation.

Events like these are the special, spiritual high points that will realign our lives with God and each other, all the while building healthy marriages. Don't fall into the trap that our culture endorses! Come, be a part of this amazing, life-giving, hope-filling weekend! 

This two-day event will not only include messages from Dan & Rebekah, but we'll also have breakout workshops, worship, laughter, dinner on Friday night, and lots of time to connect with other couples too!

Childcare is available for children 11 and younger, but there is limited space, so register soon! 

Whether you've been married for years, or you're newlyweds, don't miss this opportunity to pour into your marriage so that you can have the marriage you've always wanted!


Our Speakers: Dan & Rebekah Metteer

Dan and Rebekah Metteer are both ordained ministers through the Assemblies of God and serve as the Family and Marriage Pastors at Eastridge Church in Issaquah, WA. They both have a heart to help couples succeed in their marriage amidst all the joys and challenges that life brings. They teach and write marriage Bible studies, travel to marriage conferences, and minister to individual couples on their journey. Dan and Rebekah believe that marriage under God was designed to last.

Northwest Women's Conference (Yakima, WA)

Northwest Women’s Conference (NWWC) 2025 is designed to Equip, Empower, and Encourage women of every generation, every culture, and every calling to say “yes” to God knowing that He will lead us every step of the way. Our story of surrender & active obedience is powerful and through the sharing of it, we will see a movement of women come together and be INSPIRED to build the Kingdom in every direction, through every connection. 

NWWC is open to all women high school age and up! This is a great time to connect and grow with those in your local area as well as with other women from across the network.

As we gather together as sisters, we believe the Holy Spirit will call us into our purpose, knowing that no matter our age, background, ethnicity, or social standing, our story is significant and we can shape the world now and for generations to come, all for the glory and honor of Jesus Christ, our Lord.

Water Baptisms

Water Baptisms

The Meaning of Baptism

To be baptized is to clothe oneself with Christ (Mark 10:38-39; Luke 12:50). Christian baptism is in a sense a sharing of this death and resurrection and all that brought Christ to those events (Romans 6:1-7; Colossians 2:12). Baptism shows that a person has died to the old way of life and has been raised to a new kind of life – eternal life in Christ (Matthew 28:19-20; Colossians 3:1; 2 Timothy 2:11). The resurrection from the water points to the Christian’s resurrection (Romans 6:1-16).
