Work on the Discipline of the Bethel Methodist Church began with Discipline Committees at the local level in 1988. At the 1991 Bethel Methodist General Conference, the Board of Discipline Revision was formed. It is the purpose of the Board of Discipline Revision to develop, and revise, as needed, a discipline specific to the Bethel Methodist Church Denomination.

It is the purpose of the Board of Discipline Revision to develop, and revise, as needed, a discipline specific to the Bethel Methodist Church Denomination. The board has stayed true to its charter as the latest revision, Revision C, was approved by the General Conference on April 9^th, 2005.

The pages contained herein are the result of many prayerful hours of work of the ministers and laymen of the Irving, Port Neches, and Robinson Bethel Methodist Churches, as revised and assimilated by the Board of Discipline Revision. It is the sincere prayer of all who have participated in the writing of this Discipline that it may serve God through the Bethel Methodist Church until our Lord’s return.

Respectfully submitted,

Board of Discipline Revision, 2005-2006
