Welcome to Bethlehem

Leading all people into a life-changing relationship with Jesus Christ.

Why We Exist Watch Sermons

Why We Exist

We exist to fulfill the Great Commission given by the Lord Jesus Christ in Matthew 28:16: "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you..."

Our Mission, therefore, is to lead the way in bringing all people to Jesus Christ. He clearly stated "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the father except through me." (John 14:6). We desire to lead those in our community and people around the world into a life-changing relationship with Him.

Bethlehem Missionary Church Congregation
What We Offer

A Place to Belong

An environment where everyone—regardless of race, nationality, or social status—is welcomed and feels at home. As Galatians 3:27-28 reminds us, we are all one in Christ Jesus.

Life-Changing Truth

We preach a Word that transforms. It empowers us to love one another sacrificially, mirroring the love Jesus Christ demonstrated when He sacrificed His life for us (John 3:16).

Spiritual Equipping

A dedicated training ground where every believer is equipped, nurtured, and empowered to serve God according to their unique spiritual gifts.

Community Care

Faith requires action. Our dedicated team of volunteers serves the local community, meeting practical needs and sharing Christ's love whenever opportunities arise.

Our Ministries

"A new commandment I give you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you... By this all people will know that you are my disciples." (John 13:34-35)

Community Outreach

Be the fifth gospel wherever you are. Make disciples, mentor, and lead others to a life of meaning.

Children's Ministry

"Let the little children come to me... for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven." (Matthew 19:14)

Passionate and dedicated to bringing up children in the fear and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Youth Ministry

"Remember also your Creator in the days of your youth..." (Ecclesiastes 12:1)

Guiding the next generation to build a strong, unshakeable foundation in the Word.

Women's Ministry

"Older women likewise are to be reverent in behavior... to teach what is good..." (Titus 2:3-5)

Equipping women to lead, mentor, and support their families and communities in faith.

Community Project

Active, hands-on initiatives dedicated to serving the immediate physical needs of our local area.

Leadership & Prayer

Standing in the gap through dedicated intercession and faithful servant-leadership.

Answer the Call.

“We must work the works of him who sent me while it is day; night is coming, when no one can work.” (John 9:4)

Anyone who loves the Lord must love what He loves. Jesus Christ loves saving souls. Saving souls was His inhale; the Great Commission was His exhale. We are to “make disciples of all the nations” (Matthew 28:19).

🏠 Home Base Missionaries

Be the 'fifth gospel' wherever you walk. Make disciples, mentor, and lead those in your immediate sphere of influence to a life of eternal meaning and purpose.

Statement of Faith

Hover over any scripture reference to read the text directly. Explore our core biblical doctrines below.

I. Holy Bible

We believe the Holy Bible to be the inspired Word of God in the original languages of scripture. God inhaled to the writers all that He wanted mankind to know (2 Timothy 3:16-17). This means that God inhaled the scriptures by the agent of the Holy Spirit to the original writers, who without putting in their own ideas (2 Peter 1:20-21), accurately recorded (exhaled) all that God inhaled to them.

II. Trinity

We believe in God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. We also believe the attributes of God to include: sovereignty, absolute righteousness, justice, love, eternal life, omniscience, omnipresence, omnipotence, immutability, and veracity. God the Father designed the eternal plan. God the Son fulfilled it, and God the Holy Spirit revealed it (John 6:38; Heb 10:7; John 16:13; Deut 6:4, Matt 28:19).

III. Depravity of Man

We believe that in the original creation Adam was not only created in the likeness of God but was created perfect. Adam sinned through disobedience and through him sin entered the human race causing the entire race to be separated from God (Gen 1:26-27; Gen 3:6-15; Ps 51:5; Rom 3:23; Rom 5:12).

IV. God the Father

We believe that God the Father is the father, and in His master’s grace initiated a plan for redemption and reconciliation through the person of Jesus Christ (John 6:38; Heb 10:7; Eph 1:11; 1 Cor 8:6).

V. God the Son

We believe that the second person of the Trinity, Jesus Christ, became a true man by means of a virgin birth. He humbled himself even to the point of going to the cross as a substitutionary sacrifice so that He might provide salvation to everyone who comes to the Father through Him (Phil 2:5-7; John 3:16; John 3:36; John 14:6; Acts 4:12).

VI. Holy Spirit

We believe that the Holy Spirit indwells and teaches every believer. He convicts of sin (John 16:8), baptizes into the body of Christ (1 Cor 12:13), seals the believer (Eph 1:13), and fills the believer’s soul when he has no unconfessed sins (1 John 1:9; Acts 4:31).

VII. Salvation

We believe that salvation is a grace gift from God. Man receives this gift by means of faith alone in the Lord Jesus Christ, at which time God the Father credits His perfect righteousness to the individual (Acts 16:31; Eph 2:8-9; Gen 15:6).

VIII. Eternal Security

We believe that all believers are eternally secured; salvation cannot be lost when once received (Jude 24; Rom 8:31-39; John 10:27-30; 1 Peter 1:5).

IX. Divine Discipline

God ministers divine discipline to believers who misuse His grace gift in 3 categories: Warning discipline (1 Cor 11:30a), Intense discipline (Heb 12:6-11), and Dying discipline where God removes the individual without fulfilling the eternal plan (1 John 5:16).

X. The Church

We believe that all believers regardless of race, color, or affiliation constitute the body of Christ which is the church (1 Cor 12:12-14; Col 1:18; Eph 1:22-23).

XI. Local Church

We believe in local churches assembling for Bible teaching (Acts 20:17), the administration of Holy Communion (1 Cor 11:23-31), and freewill offerings as worship (2 Cor 9:6-7). Tithe is a system of taxation under Mosaic Law, not part of the church age.

XII. Satan

We believe Satan is a real created being, the fallen angel, whose objective is to distract mankind. False teachings are his craftsmanship. Salvation by works is his masterpiece. (Gal 1:3; Acts 15:1-17; Ezek 28:14-18)

XIII. Free Will

We believe that man is created to function with a free will (2 Peter 3:9; John 3:16, 18; Deut 30:19-20).

XIV. Destiny of Believers

We believe that rapture, which is imminent, will occur and the Lord Jesus Christ will gather all the believers in Christ to meet Him in the air prior to the tribulation (1 Thess 4:13-18).

XV. Great Tribulation

We believe that the great tribulation will be a time that follows immediately after the rapture. Satan will inflict the greatest suffering mankind has ever experienced (Matt 24:27-31; Rev 20:6).

XVI. Second Coming

We believe that the Great Tribulation will be climaxed by the pre-millennial return of the Lord Jesus Christ to earth to set up His kingdom (Zech 14:4-11; 1 Thess 1:7-10).

XVII. Eternal State

The souls of believers pass immediately into His presence (2 Cor 5:8) until the resurrection. Unbelievers remain in conscious misery until the final judgement at the great white throne (Rev 20:11-15).

XVIII. Believers’ Duty

All believers should seek to walk in a manner as not to bring reproach upon their Lord (Rom 12:1). It is our privilege to witness and support the work of the Lord in prayer and means (2 Cor 5:20; 1 Cor 16:2).
