Welcome to Bethlehem

If you really fulfill the royal law according to the Scriptures, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” you are doing well. But if you show partiality, you are committing sin and are convicted by the law as transgressors. For whoever keeps the whole law but fails in one point has become accountable  for all of it.

James 2:8-10 (English Standard Version – ESV)

“Bethlehem Evangelical Lutheran Church & School is community of sinners trusting in the forgiveness given by the crucified and risen Christ, offering peace, joy, stability, and purpose to a despairing and chaotic wo9rld by sharing this gospel through our words and deeds.”
