Assessment

Bethany Church (goes by 'Bethany Church' not 'Bethany Baptist') in Broken Arrow OK. Founded 1963. Pastor Randy has led for 30+ years — long pastoral tenure is a positive indicator. Executive Pastor Barry since 2008. SBC affiliation not explicitly confirmed in search results but listed as such. Two Sunday services plus online. Long-tenured male pastoral leadership is a positive sign. Needs further verification on men's ministry and doctrinal specifics.
