Plymouth Bethesda United Church

Welcome to Plymouth Bethesda United Church, a vibrant community of faith located at 500 Plant Street, Utica, New York. As a place of worship, we are dedicated to fostering deep, meaningful connections—both spiritual and human. We believe that church should be a radical departure from societal norms, where equality, dignity, and respect for all are paramount.

Our mission extends beyond the walls of our church, as we actively engage with and support individuals experiencing homelessness in and around Oneida Square. We invite you to read our comprehensive report on this important issue [here](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-xl3BRCu_asShtLI7ZgpLyRSYYo2oUQc/view?usp=share_link).

At Plymouth Bethesda, we strive to address the traumas and challenges faced by many, offering a space where forgiveness is not a shield for abusers but a pathway to healing and reconciliation. We understand that many seek human connection above all else, and we aim to bridge the divides of race, theology, ideology, and socioeconomic status, embracing the beauty and diversity of our community.

Join us for our "Housed not Hidden" event in July and August, where Pastor Mike will spend 24 hours on the streets of Utica to bring awareness to homelessness. Follow our [Facebook page](https://www.facebook.com/Cornerstoneutica) for live broadcasts and event updates.

We invite you to delve deeper into our Sunday messages, where we encourage open discussion and exploration of walking in the Spirit. Together, we can break down barriers and build a new humanity in Jesus Christ, one that reflects the love, dignity, and grace He offers to all.

If you are searching for genuine human connection and a community that celebrates you for who you are, we welcome you to break bread with us. Your support through Tithe.ly, whether as a regular contributor or with a one-time gift, helps us continue our mission of loving and serving our neighbors.

Join us at Plymouth Bethesda United Church, where we strive to live out the teachings of Jesus by loving our neighbors, seeking justice, and embracing the messy beauty of community life.
