Mission & Vision: Compelled by the love of Christ, we work in partnership with God, each other, and the world to boldly share the Good News of God’s grace with all people.
​

Welcoming in Christ

Bethlehem provides a warm welcome to all people.  We are committed to the same hospitality that Jesus offers, sharing our lives as well as the gospel.  We believe all people are created in the image of God, beloved, and belong in Christ. Therefore, we seek to treat everyone with kindness, dignity, and care no matter where they might be on their journey of faith.

​Growing in Faith

We practice our faith seeking to grow as followers of Jesus. This means faithfully embodying life in Christ through prayer, worship, generosity, forgiveness, and hope. We believe in the comfort and challenge of the gospel. Therefore, as the Church, we center our time together around the Word of God and the grace received in the sacraments.

Responding in Love and Service

Jesus tells us to "love our neighbors."  Bethlehem works with local and global partners to build relationships and offer support.  We seek to serve others in need, with our starting point being one of love and compassion.
