In the early morning on December 2, 2025, the El Bethel Missionary Baptist Church experienced a catastrophic fire that destroyed the structure of the entire building.

El Bethel Missionary Baptist Church is faith-based and centered around families within the local community, including the surrounding cities known as the “Golden Triangle Area.”

The church is actively involved with after-school lunch programs, voter registration, Youth Explosion, and Family & Friends events, just to name a few.

The El Bethel Church family has a special statement, and it states: “We may not be the biggest church, but baby, we are the best”.

We are fundraising to rebuild our beloved church and continue our mission in the community.

As we move towards rebuilding the foundation and structure of the building, we are asking for the financial support from all that are willing and able to help.

Please pray for our families as we begin the process to rebuild not only the structure, but the hearts, minds, and all that believe in Christ Jesus as the solid foundation of restoration and love.

Thank you,

Pastor Rickey Guillory
