Bethel Lutheran Church

Bethel Lutheran Church We are a community of believers where you Meet Jesus, Find Connection, and Make A Difference in the world to the glory of God. We are all broken people.

At Bethel we value nurturing relationships with God and each other. https://linktr.ee/BethelLutheranChurch Here at Bethel we firmly believe that we are all sinners, all imperfect people, all given to temptation. We all need help. We all need a Savior. But here at Bethel we also believe our only hope is in Jesus Christ, who has rescued us from eternal separation from God's grace. Only Jesus, who is

God, could establish a relationship between us and God; and so we believe that out of God's amazing love for His creation, He sent His only Son, Jesus, to die for our sins and show us how to love others. At Bethel, we also believe and teach that this is not the end of the story. Jesus is alive!! Jesus was raised to life and has taken up His throne in heaven where he reigns as our Master and Savior. Here and now, in the midst of the pain and strife in our lives, Jesus is helping and guiding us through tough times and is interceding for us with forgiveness as we continue to make mistakes and fall short of His glory. He also sends to us the Holy Spirit, who lives inside each of us and comforts, guides, directs, strengthens, and empowers us with spiritual gifts to use in this life. As our Master, Jesus' commands are not burdensome...love God, and love the people around you as you love and care for yourself. This is our call as Christians. We also know that death is part of life. But since Jesus is alive, we can be sure that Jesus will raise us to new and never-ending life when He returns! We will live with God forever in a new and perfect creation. But until that day comes, we at Bethel believe and teach that Jesus has called each of us by faith and commands us to go out in His name to share the Good News of salvation!

We are overjoyed to announce that, by the grace of God and through the incredible generosity of our congregation, we have paid off our mortgage early!
What a powerful testimony to God’s faithfulness and your faithful giving. Years ahead of schedule, we now stand mortgage-free — a true blessing that will allow us to invest even more into ministry, outreach, and serving our community in Jesus’ name.
Thank you to every person who gave sacrificially, prayed fervently, and believed with us. This victory belongs to the Lord and to all of you.

One of the most beautiful truths in the Bible:
“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast.”
Ephesians 2:8-9
Before Christ, we were spiritually dead in our sins.
But God, rich in mercy and great love, made us alive with Christ.
This means your salvation isn’t earned by being “good enough,” going to church enough, or trying harder. It is 100% a free gift of God’s grace, received simply by faith in Jesus.
We are not saved by good works…
But we are saved for good works (see verse 10).
This is the heart of the Gospel:
Grace alone. Faith alone. Christ alone.
Have you received this gift?
Where are you tempted to trust in your own efforts instead of God’s grace?

This Sunday, give Mom something that matters more than flowers or cards — your presence beside her as we worship the Lord together.
