Our Vision

The vision of Bethlehem Baptist Church is to create a community of authentic believers and to witness a community transformed by the life-changing reality of the gospel, as people come to know Jesus as their Lord and Savior. We are a church that believes in Jesus, a church that loves God and people. Overwhelmed by the gift of salvation we have found in Jesus, we have a heart for authentic worship, we are passionate about the local church, and want to see hearts and lives changed by the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

"We have been members of this church since March 2022. We have felt a sense of community, love and friendship. Our kids can’t wait until the next service! So much is poured into teaching kids the Word of God in a fun and exciting way. We felt right at home at this church and have enjoyed getting involved in different ministries."

"Kind people. Welcoming attitude, an up and coming church in the area!"

"I highly recommend Bethlehem Baptist Church. I’ve been attending church there for almost a year and I felt welcomed and part of the church from day one. Pastor Kurt is not only a great preacher but also a great teacher. I love that he chooses a book of the Bible, teaches verse by verse, and is very thorough in the Word of God. Pastor Kurt prints note sheets on all of his sermons so you can follow along, which is really nice to take home and study. I love being part of such a friendly church. We have attended a large range of activities hosted by Bethlehem Baptist which has enabled us to become like family with the other members."
