Bethel Lutheran Church is a congregation of people whom the Holy Spirit has brought to recognize their sin and to trust in Jesus for forgiveness. We gather together regularly to be assured of God’s love, to be strengthened in our faith, and to be encouraged to live lives that are pleasing to God. When we come together we listen to God’s word and receive the Sacrament because God has promised that he works in our hearts through them.
As we grow together, we strive to share the good news of salvation in Jesus with all people; we encourage and support each other; and we strive to let our light shine in the world through our words and actions.
Bethel In The Word
Bethel offers a number of opportunities for its members, and the community, to worship God and to study God’s word.
Regular worship is held each Sunday at 10:30 AM. Special opportunities for worship are offered on Wednesdays during Lent, during Holy Week, on Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, and New Years Eve.
Bible study is offered on Sunday mornings at 9:30, and on most Wednesdays at 7:00 PM (except during Lent). Individual and small group Bible studies for those wanting to know more about the Christian faith are offered to all who are interested and are tailored to fit their schedules.
Sunday School for ages 3—6th grade is held during the Sunday morning Bible class time, 9:30 AM. Babysitting is provided on an “as needed” basis.
