accepted, where we are supported, where we can grow spiritually, where we can make a difference, and ultimately where we feel at home. That\u2019s what Bethel Christian Assembly is about - not just a church service on Sundays. It\u2019s a family that looks like this: people gathered that come from different backgrounds and life stories worshipping Jesus &amp; learning the Word together. We move forward with a shared purpose - to inspire, impart, influence and ignite the truth of the Gospel for the glory of God. You will see a church family walking with each other through the high and low seasons of life.  <br><br>Finding a spiritual home that understands your roots is vital. <br>Bethel Christian Assembly is an Indian church serving the Phoenix metro area in Arizona affiliated with India Pentecostal Church (IPC)  and we welcome you to be a part of the Bethel Christian Assembly family!<br><br>We are proud to be a spiritual home for families and individuals residing in:<br><span style=\"font-weight: 700\">Central Phoenix<\/span>: Including Laveen, Tempe, Scottsdale and Phoenix.<br><span style=\"font-weight: 700\">East Valley<\/span>: Chandler, Gilbert, Queen Creek and San Tan Valley<br><span style=\"font-weight: 700\">West Valley<\/span>: Glendale and Avondale.<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f5fef0d elementor-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"f5fef0d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/bethelchristianassembly.org\/who-we-are\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">More About Us<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d4a025a elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"d4a025a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d0851e0 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"d0851e0\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c4c9bdd elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"c4c9bdd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">RECENT SERMONS<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1818b9b elementor-widget elementor-widget-shortcode\" data-id=\"1818b9b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"shortcode.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-shortcode\">\n                    <div class=\"asp-shortcode-container \">\n        \n        <ul class=\"sermon-archive-holder \" data-asp-archive-layout=\"grid-view\" style=\"width: 100%\";>\n                    <li class='sermon-archive-single' >\n\n            <a class=\"semon-thumbnail-link\" itemprop=\"url\" href=\"https:\/\/bethelchristianassembly.org\/?sermons=return-to-your-first-love\" target=\"_self\" title=\"\">\n          <div class='sermon-thumbnail'>\n              <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-src=\"https:\/\/bethelchristianassembly.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/returntoyourfirstlove-1024x576.webp\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-post-image lazyload\" alt=\"Return to Your First Love\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/bethelchristianassembly.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/returntoyourfirstlove-1024x576.webp 1024w, https:\/\/bethelchristianassembly.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/returntoyourfirstlove-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/bethelchristianassembly.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/returntoyourfirstlove-768x432.webp 768w, https:\/\/bethelchristianassembly.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/returntoyourfirstlove.webp 1280w\" data-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px;
