Reason for Being and Purpose
Bethlehem Lutheran Church is a christian faith community that believes it has been called, gathered, enlightened, and made holy by the triune God.
Our mission is to worship, grow in faith and love, and reach out to all people proclaiming in word and deed that Jesus Christ is our hope and salvation —yesterday, today, and forever.
The season of Lent and our annual journey with Jesus to Jerusalem, the cross, and resurrection begins on Wednesday, February 22, 2023, with Imposition of Ashes and Holy Communion. Come and join us for worship!
