At Bethlehem, we don't care if you wear jeans or a suit. You can slip in the back, sing off-key, or dance in the aisles—we welcome it all. You are loved, accepted, and welcome, just as you are.
Our Sunday morning service is at 9:30 a.m. and features practical application of biblical teaching, a mix of contemporary music and beloved hymns, and of course, Communion, which is at the center of our service where all are invited to partake. (Grape juice and gluten-free hosts are available!)
We welcome your little ones, and they can join you in the pews (even if they're loud and drop cheerios on the floor) or hang out in childcare (ages 0-3). And if you're not sure what you believe? That's okay, too. We'll be here to listen or answer questions when you’re ready. We can't wait to welcome you and your whole family, just as you are.
Won’t you join us for worship
this Sunday?
