Bethlehem Lutheran Church
About Us
The new Bethlehem is in transition and it’s exploring where God’s Spirit is nudging us forward. We want to be engaging with the Gospel’s word of inclusive embrace, making a difference in the neighborhoods, asking how can we be and bring Light to the world, and how we can better love the world and each other along the way. Only visitors could say if we are friendly and welcoming, but it is our desire to welcome people in the name of the Triune God, to worship and live in Spirit-filled ways that are deepening and expansive for both ourselves and others. We can’t pretend we’ve got this down to a science—far from it. With Jesus our teacher and healer, we are students, not graduates! Bethlehem welcomes all who want to welcome all, serves the neighbor, and offers a process of discipleship for youth and adults. There’s room for you at Bethlehem.
