COMMUNITY OF LOVE (COOL)
COOL is a place for having Worship, Fellowship and Discipleship as a community. We encourage our members to study the Bible and grow in intimacy with God through prayer, praise, and worship. In COOL every member can experience warm fellowship with fellow believers through loving friendship and caring. COOL is also a place to develop and multiply God-given talents for ministry in God's Kingdom; to reach out and bring others to experience true life in Jesus Christ.

A Fellowship that Encourage Me to Pursue God’s Heart
Zion feels like a second family to me; I can share happy news with them, but also discuss difficult issues and be open about my vulnerabilities. I used to be a passive Christian whose purpose of going to church was to take my share of the sermon and go home. Through Zion, I was reminded that being a part of the body of Christ means being an ever-growing disciple with a serving heart. They nudged me in that direction by introducing me to KOM, compelled me to serve in church, and guided me in learning deeper about salvation and holiness. I’m grateful that our friendship is beyond skin-deep, and that they can help hold me accountable for my spiritual commitments. Moreover, having fellowship with them always encourages me to pursue God’s heart no matter the season of my spiritual life. Needless to say, I’m very blessed to have met Zion.
The Importance of Being in a Community
I am blessed and grateful to be a part of COOL Bethel. Since I joined the community in 2018, I have learned a lot of things especially on how to serve one another. Back then, I was a shy and passive person that was reluctant to join any community. However, one of my friends in university somehow invited me to join a COOL in BIC. At first, I wanted to come along just to fill in my spare time.
But, as time went by, I felt more comfortable with all the other members and decided to stay. Slowly but consistently, they started to encourage me to serve; started with praying and sharing about God’s goodness. To be honest, it was really hard for me to share my experience with God in front of a lot of people, but my shepherds and cool members never stop encouraging me and giving me the motivation to serve one another according to the word of God.
For me, planted in the right community is very important for our spiritual journey because God sent us to spread the Gospel, serve, and love one another.
It is more than just a weekly gathering
BIC’s COOL is my first small group. At first, I was not sure whether to join – but I thought I’d give it a try. It turns out to be an impactful place in my journey of faith. It’s more than just a weekly gathering but it’s a place to do life and pursue God together. For me, I know God deeper through learning and discussing His word together.
Also, being in the community has transformed the way I see God’s love. During difficult times in my life, my brothers and sisters in Christ always support me through prayers – which I believe is God’s work to sustain and strengthen my faith. It is really a safe place where we can be vulnerable and be who we are, because of the genuine care and love from the people in the community.
