Our History
In Fuquay-Varina, NC, Michael Cotten was a lawyer happily running the law practice he had once shared with his father. Using his wife, Gloria, God began to convict Michael's heart
and provoke him to salvation. A few years after being born-again and baptized in the Holy Spirit, people began to gather in the Cotten's home for prayer and fellowship. Before long, a small church was born in the Cottens' home. In 1982, Michael Cotten sold
the family law practice to enter ministry full-time.
In 2001, Jubilee Fellowship was turned over to their eldest son, Sam Cotten. In 2003 Jubilee Fellowship became Bethel Church. The new name marked the transition to a new pastor and a new vision.
On
April 6, 2008, Pastor Sam went on to further his education and the pastoral
leadership of Bethel Church was given to Jonathan Fletcher.
