Bethany Baptist Church is a 59-year-old Richmond, BC congregation with strong governance and clean operations, but a critical flag sits in its donation outflow: a transfer was sent to Mission Central Christian Society, which CRA has since revoked for failure to file. Donors should ask the church to confirm that recipient relationship before giving.
Our Verdict: An established Baptist congregation with strong fundamentals, but with one transfer routed to a now-revoked recipient (Mission Central Christian Society) — a question worth raising directly with the church before donating.
