The Purpose
why we are building?
At Bethlehem Baptist Church, we are experiencing incredible growth and an increasing need for space to serve our congregation and community effectively. Our current building, while a blessing, has reached its maximum capacity, particularly in key ministry areas. After much prayer and seeking God’s direction, we believe He is leading us to expand—not just to build a larger structure, but to create a space that will enhance discipleship, fellowship, outreach, and ministry for generations to come.
Maximized Space in Our Current Facility
Each week, our Sunday School classes and Wednesday night youth programs are filled to capacity. We are grateful for the growth God has provided, but our current building simply does not have the room to accommodate new families and individuals seeking to grow in their faith. More space is needed to ensure that we can continue to disciple, teach, and encourage people of all ages without limitation.
A Place for Fellowship
Fellowship is a vital part of church life, strengthening relationships within the body of Christ. However, our current facility does not provide adequate space for gathering, sharing meals, or hosting church-wide events. A new building would allow us to foster deeper community among our members, providing a welcoming environment for connection and encouragement.
Expanding Outreach Through Recreation
A dedicated space for recreation would be a game-changer for our youth ministry and outreach efforts. A multi-purpose area could be used for youth events, sports, and community activities—opening doors to reach young people and families in ways we never could before. By offering a place where people can gather, have fun, and hear the Gospel, we believe God will use this space to impact lives beyond our church walls.
A Facility for Community Outreach
Bethlehem Baptist Church is committed to serving beyond our congregation. With an expanded facility, we will have the ability to host community events, ministry programs, and outreach initiatives that demonstrate the love of Christ in tangible ways. Whether through hosting local events, providing a space for ministry partnerships, or offering resources to those in need, this building will be a tool for expanding God’s kingdom.
For God’s Honor and Glory
Ultimately, this project is not just about a building—it’s about positioning Bethlehem Baptist Church to be used by God in greater ways. This new facility will allow us to welcome more people, disciple more believers, and serve our community more effectively, all for His honor and glory.
We invite you to pray with us, partner with us, and trust with us as we step forward in faith, believing that God will provide for this vision and use it to accomplish His will.
