WELCOME
We have seen literally hundreds of lives changed here at Bethlehem! The Lord has blessed us with a wonderful facility and leadership with a common goal to tell as many people as possible about the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. The new life that can only be experienced through knowing Him.
Over the last few years, we have also been blessed to offer a Christian education through our own school, Bethlehem Christian Academy. More information about our school can be found on its website, www.BethlehemChristianAcademy.net.
Our desire is for you to feel welcome at Bethlehem Baptist Church and that you have an open invitation to worship with us at any time.We want to serve you as part of our community.

WHAT WE BELIEVE IN
At Bethlehem, we believe that there are two relationships in life and one Great Commission that all our experiences hinge upon: first is our relationship with Christ, and the the other is our relationship with others.
Jesus himself said it this way in Mark 12: 30-32, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength." This is the first commandment. And the second, like it, is this: ‘"You shall love your neighbor as yourself. There is no other commandment greater than these.” He further commands in Matthew 28:19, "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and the Holy Ghost."
All of our ministries are built upon these three simple commands from our Lord and Savior. It is our desire to Love God, Love People, and Love Ministry by serving people through the strength and compassion of Jesus Christ.
OUR HISTORY
Bethlehem Baptist Church has been a place of worship, growth, and community since 1918. From humble beginnings under a brush arbor to a thriving, dynamic congregation today, our church has remained committed to sharing the love and truth of Jesus Christ. Over the years, we've expanded our facilities, ministries, and outreach—welcoming generations of believers and launching Bethlehem Christian Academy to continue that mission through Christian education.
