Welcome to Bethel Baptist Temple
Bethel Baptist Temple has been a spiritual cornerstone in the Cincinnati community since 1977. Founded by Pastor Larry Cornett and a group of families, our church has grown from a storefront in St. Bernard to a thriving congregation in Sycamore Township. We are committed to worshiping God, loving one another, and seeking the lost through practical biblical teaching and community service. Our mission emphasizes discipleship, evangelism, and fostering unity among believers.With over four decades of ministry, we continue to prioritize scriptural authority, believer's baptism, and the Great Commission. Our programs include weekly sermons, women's Bible studies, and outreach initiatives that reflect our dedication to Christ-centered living. We believe in the transformative power of faith and strive to create an inclusive environment where individuals can grow spiritually and contribute to God's kingdom.
