Bethany Church - Baker, LA
Does anyone know anything about Bethany Churches in and around Baton Rouge? My son and the other boy who lives with me are planning to attend a youth conference there in a week or so. Their youth group is HUGE (7000). Zac and Rodney love to hear these guys preach, and they are not greasy-grace guys at all; they are hardcore for Jesus.
Someone told me that the Stockstill's baptize in Jesus' name. Anyone know if this is true?

Re: Bethany Church - Baker, LA
Been there a couple of times. Pastor Larry Stockstill is a great guy. This is the church Ted Haggard was before he went to Colorado Springs. Pastor Larry was on his board and is still on his accountability team. This is a great church. You'll learn some good things. It was built on cell groups and they have sent numerous people to start churches and as missionaries as well. Enjoy!!!

Re: Bethany Church - Baker, LA
Bethany has a great reputation in the BR area. They have been an established church for about 40 years in this area. They have several campuses which are thriving churches. I have heard that Br. Stockstill baptizes in the Name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost which is Jesus, but I do not know that for a fact. Br. Stockstill's son just lost his wife to cancer- I think- she was in her early 20's. They are not greasy grace at all.

Well, I'm not going; just the boys and possibly our Jr. High Youth Pastor. But the two boys are going whether he goes with them or not. They are 19 and 21 and are big fans of Joel Stockstill and Judah Smith.

Yes, my daughter heard Joel preach about a month after his wife died, and he talked about it. It was really sad. I think he preached her funeral too.

Speaking of reservations, I could not find any hotels that weren't full. I finally found one about 13 miles away in Baton Rouge. Nearly everything else I checked in Baton Rouge was already to capacity. I assume this is going to be a huge conference!

Re: Bethany Church - Baker, LA
Sherri,
The only think I konw about Bethany in BR is that there is a Charismatic church (Christian Life Church) here in Murfreesboro, TN pastored by a guy, Ron Kairdolf, who was an asst. pastor there for 6 years before coming to Murfreesboro to pastor his own church in 1994.
