Welcome to Church

Sunday Worship Service

All are welcome in this place. 

There are many things that are central to Bethlehem Lutheran.  We are a missional congregation with ministries that reach out to our community and our world.  We have a youth and children’s ministry program as well as an early childhood learning center that welcomes and engages children of all ages.  We are people of worship.  We gather around word and the table with a single voice lifted in praise. 

Yet above all, Bethlehem is a place of welcome.  It is likely the first thing you will notice about us.  Our greatest joy is to extend a genuine welcome to all who come.  Please join us.  There is a place for you here and we will be gifted by your presence. 

Please look through this website to see some of the ministries of Bethlehem Lutheran.  This congregation was founded nearly 50 years ago, in a stable.  We are reminded always of a light that shines in the darkness and a God who would make his home with us. May Christ’s presence be with you today.

 

You are always welcome here,

  Pastor Laura Ziehl


Visitors, we hope you feel a warm welcome. We have three service times to choose from (8, 9 and 10:30 am) with Holy Communion distributed at every service and available to all worshipers.
 
When you arrive, please fill out a blue visitor card located in the pew racks. You will find a "Ministries" brochure near the entrance that describes the many opportunities for getting to know people and helping to serve the wider community.
 
        
A good link that is helpful in understanding a Lutheran perspective of Christianity is here:  Christianity and Lutheranism 

We welcome new members  about every 3 months. A luncheon and orientation follows the 10:30AM service, concluding at 2 pm. Child care will be provided.  Check the "Scheduled Events" page for our next welcoming. If you would like to make Bethlehem your church home or if you would like more information, please make note of that on a blue Worship Registration card and hand that to the Ushers this Sunday.
