The Bethany Room is a special room added to the 1994 addition and is used for meetings and may be rented for outside use that conforms to Bethany’s purpose.

Kitchen
Bethany’s kitchen is a full function facility that is the focal point for our Breakfast Club program operated by volunteers for the students of Suddaby School, across Lancaster from our church. The kitchen can also be rented by outside groups for functions.

Gymnasium
The major component of the 1994 addition was the gymnasium. This facility is used practically every day of the week. Throughout the week the Breakfast Club serves breakfast to several students. Several recreational sports groups use the facility for basketball, volleyball, etc. A community program called Caregivers and Tots uses the gymnasium. Saturday nights in the winter months finds the gymnasium filled as a Saturday Overnight Shelter providing a warm place for our out of the cold community.

Nursery
During the Sunday morning worship services and the Sunday evening family time our nursery is staffed by very well trained individuals with a love for the "wee ones". The nursery also provides other assistance and information to new mothers and mothers to be through
