The Bethel Ministerial Association, Inc. is a fellowship of ministers allied for the purpose of
proclaiming the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. The BMA was originally founded by Albert Franklin
Varnell as the Evangelistic Ministerial Alliance in May of 1934. During the course of his life,
"Doc" Varnell pioneered thirteen churches, many of which are functioning today. The Bethel
Ministerial Association continues to be an assembly with its member churches maintaining
their distinctive features and its ministers leading autonomous congregations affiliated with it.
Although Doc. Varnell is no longer with us, the conviction with which he lived remains
in the hearts of the Bethel Brethren and many others who were touched by his life. He
was a man who would stand for what he believed in, even if he had to stand alone. This
fellowship maintains his philosophy:
