New Bethlehem First Fellowship Church

New Bethlehem First Fellowship Church We welcome you to worship with our church family as we spread the Word of God! www.NBFFC.org

A pillar of faith in New Bethlehem, the First United Methodist Church has long stood as a symbol of devotion and service. However, because of doctrinal differences and leadership capacities, the congregation voted to disaffiliate from the United Methodist Church and become an independent congregation. This decision was made after careful consideration and prayer and in alignment with a new vision

for the future. As an independent church, the congregation will have the freedom to shape their own identity and theological direction. The true strength of a church lies not only in its theological teachings, but also in the bonds of friendship and shared experiences that bring people together. The New Bethlehem First Fellowship Church eagerly looks forward to this new chapter and the continued growth of the congregation. As the church embarks on this journey together, everyone is invited to experience the love, joy, and sense of belonging with us. The congregation continues to meet for Sunday morning worship beginning at 11:00 am at 234 Penn Street.

Good morning, NBFFC family! ☀️

Join us for Morning Worship on Sunday, May 24, as Pastor Don Jeffers shares the morning message, “Come Down From the Mountain,” from John 12:27-37.

In this passage, we hear Jesus speak with honesty, purpose, and surrender as He walks toward the work the Father has called Him to do. This message invites us to reflect on what it means to follow Christ beyond the high places of faith, into everyday obedience, trust, and witness. May our hearts be open to the light of Christ and ready to walk with Him wherever He leads.

Come worship with us, be encouraged, and invite someone to join you online. There is a word for your heart this Sunday. ❤️
