Here at Bethlehem, we firmly believe that our family of faith continually grows and is
strengthened by involvement in one or more of the diverse opportunities available to us. If you are interested, need more
information or are curious about other ministries, please feel free to contact the church office or the ministry directly.

filled from a wait list. Tours are given twice monthly so please call to arrange a time.
