About Us
Our Story
Bethesda Baptist Church is an independent, autonomous congregation in Kathmandu, Nepal, subject only to Jesus Christ as the Head of the Church. We are free to cooperate with other Biblical, like-minded churches, while holding firmly to the authority of God's Word as our final rule for faith and life.
Our Mission
Our aim is to be biblically rooted, mature in a local community of believers, and to seek those outside that community — both locally and globally — with character, compassion, courage, and creativity.
Biblically Rooted
Everything we do is anchored in the authority and sufficiency of Scripture — see our Statement of Faith.
A Mature Community
We grow together as believers through worship, discipleship, and mutual encouragement in the local church.
Character & Compassion
We seek to reflect Christ in how we treat one another and our neighbors, in Kathmandu and beyond.
Courage & Creativity
We want to reach people outside our community — locally and globally — with boldness and fresh approaches to the unchanging gospel.
