Bethel Expansion and Further Increase

The branch facilities underwent renovation in 1998. Two apartments across the street were purchased to house Bethelites and to allow more space in the office for the Translation Department.

Presently, there are eight full-time workers at the branch office. Others commute to Bethel and are helping part-time. To replace the Kingdom Hall at the branch, a new Kingdom Hall has now been built for the congregations in Reykjavík. Consequently, plans are under way to renovate the branch building in order to accommodate more Bethel workers.
