About Our Church
A Confessional, Liturgical Congregation of the Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod
Bethlehem Evangelical Lutheran Church
History
Bethlehem was founded by the grace of our Lord, Jesus Christ in 1897. Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, has faithfully preserved His church at Bethlehem through His ministry of Word and Sacraments. He created and grows this congregation through the waters of Holy Baptism and sustains and strengthens His holy flock through the true proclamation of His Divine Word and the proper administration of His holy body and blood in the Lord’s Supper.
If you do not already have a church home, we invite and encourage you to worship with us and consider joining our family of faith here at Bethlehem. If you would like to schedule a pastoral visit or desire more information on becoming a member of Bethlehem Lutheran Church, please contact our church office. We are looking forward to sharing with you the gifts of Christ
Our Beliefs
Bethlehem is a member congregation of The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod (LCMS). With the universal Christian Church, The LCMS teaches and responds to the love of the Triune God: the Father, creator of all that exists; Jesus Christ, the Son, who became human to suffer and die for the sins of all human beings and to rise to life again in the ultimate victory over death and Satan; and the Holy Spirit, who creates faith through God’s Word and Sacraments. The three persons of the Trinity are coequal and coeternal, one God. Being “Lutheran” our congregation accepts and preaches the Bible-based teachings of Martin Luther that inspired the reformation of the Christian Church in the 16th century.
