On December 14, 2008, the Bethlehem Relational Commitments became part of our membership expectations and in the constitution and church covenant by reference.

These commitments are intended to help us define and mutually accept the way that we at Bethlehem will relate to one another, especially as related to the following:

• peacemaking and reconciliation
• marriage and divorce
• protecting children from abuse
• counseling and confidentiality
• mutual accountability.

In February and March 2009, Bethlehem pastors spoke on the Bethlehem Relational Commitments at Wednesday Connection. DVDs of the sessions are available at the church libraries, and the sessions are also available on this site.  This talk is one of those sessions.
