- Three churches are in the immediate radius of Bentley, with
several other denominations just a few minutes away.
Bentley United Methodist Church- The Bentley United Methodist Church, the only church inside the Bentley city limits, and located on the main north-south thoroughfare, at 134 N. Wichita Avenue, was chartered in 1901. Sharing a pastor with the Maize United Methodist, local Bentley services begin at 9:30 AM, with Sunday School offered at 9:45. The congregation also meets for a weekly Bible Study. Recently re-vamped, the church's bell tower rings out each Sunday at 9 AM to announce the coming service. Many other major structural improvements have been made to the historic building, which houses the longest continuous run of worship services in an original building of any Protestant congregation west of the Mississippi River. The church also owns an adjoining Education Building, which houses Sunday School classes, church suppers, and local organization meetings.
