Inside Bethlehem

ABOUT BETHLEHEM

We want everything about us to declare that Jesus Christ is more desirable than all the pleasures of this world. Our desire is your happiness in God, for God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in him. We believe God calls us to …

  • Engage in the local church by coming together to worship him and grow in our understanding and application of his word.
  • Invest in one another’s lives through relationships, care, and support.
  • Serve with the gifts and resources God has provided to strengthen the church, meet needs in our community, and to reach out with gospel hope both near and far.

FIVE DISCIPLESHIP PRIORITIES

We aim to make disciples whose lives are devoted to five key aspects of obedience to Jesus Christ that can be summed up in these five words: Worship, Belong, Grow, Serve, and Go.

WORSHIP

SUNDAY WORSHIP

Worship Services

Join us Sundays at 9am and 11am for identical services including singing, Scripture reading, prayer, preaching, and the Lord’s Supper. Our gospel liturgy leads us in adoration, confession, thanksgiving, hearing God’s Word, and responding in faith.

View the 9am service online at bethlehem.church/live-content. Live Spanish translation is available at 9am; headsets are available at the Welcome Desk.

Nursery Care

Children 10 months–age 3 are welcome to join us in the nursery during either service. The nursery is located beneath the Sanctuary.

Nursing Moms’ Room

Please visit the nursery check-in counter located
beneath the Sanctuary.

‘Restless Child’ Room

Room 218 is for families who need a place to watch the worship service while their children play in a contained room furnished with toys. Children must be in the care of their parents.

BELONG

BAPTISM

Baptism is a visible symbol of God’s saving work within a person. It is the outward sign of belonging to the people of God—those who have repented and put their faith in Jesus Christ. You should be baptized if you have repented of your sins and believed on Christ alone for salvation and have not already been baptized as a believer by immersion.

Learn more and register for upcoming baptism classes.

MEMBERSHIP

The membership class is designed to provide an overview of our core beliefs. The class includes topics like understanding the gospel, what it means to be a church, and the theological beliefs of the elders and Baptists in general. The membership class is open to everyone, and is a requirement for church membership. Lunch is provided.
