The story of Bethel AG Church is a fascinating history of a small fellowship meeting gaining divine favor. This work was pioneered under the auspices of the outreach ministry of the Southern Asia Bible College. The small beginning in March 1960 has now grown over the years catering to the needs of thousands of people from various ethnic backgrounds and from many cultures. The visionary investment and the sacrificial efforts of God’s servants is now reaping a rich harvest after decades.

Through the years, the work of God in Bangalore city has been unfolding beyond human plans at Bethel. Four linguistic services (Malayalam, English, Kannada and Tamil) cater to the spiritual needs of the many ethnic groups in this metro city.

People belonging to various communities and nationalities come together, breaking all barriers of caste, creed and social standing, to worship the almighty god along with us, in spirit and in truth.

Many ministries travel around the nation and cross the globe under the apostolic umbrella of Bethel, spreading the gospel. They carry the revival fire imparted at bethel to the body of Christ in various parts of the world. Powerful prayer backing of the church is an invaluable asset and a blessing from God to them.

Truly as Jesus said, the kingdom of God is among his people. We are humbled by the awesome experience of being a part of the move of God. We as church rejoice with all members, far and near, Who pray and stand by us to see the plans of God unfold before our eyes. Today Bethel AG Church is the largest Malayalam speaking Pentecostal Church around the globe. We have services in Malayalam, English, Tamil and Kannada.
