Ministries
Our mission is; Because of God’s grace, we will prayerfully share the Gospel, through Word and Sacrament, to as many people as possible.
As Christians, serving God involves actively participating in the life of the church and living out one's faith in daily life. Lutheranism is a branch of Protestant Christianity that follows the teachings of Martin Luther, a 16th-century reformer. Lutherans emphasize the importance of grace, faith, and the authority of Scripture.

WORSHIP
We believe in the centrality of worship, where believers come together to praise God, hear His Word, and receive the sacraments. The main sacraments in the Lutheran tradition are Baptism and the Lord's Supper (Holy Communion). Regular attendance and active participation in worship services are encouraged.
BIBLE STUDY
Lutherans hold the Bible as the ultimate authority for matters of faith and practice. Our regular Bible Studies are held Sunday morning at 8:30 before worship. Pastor also engages in a Zoom call Bible study. For details, check the calendar for times and sessions.
We also hold regular Bible Studies on different topics throughout the year. Check the calendar or email us at bethellc@aol.com
PRAYER
Prayer is an essential part of the Christian life. Lutherans believe in the power of prayer as a means of communicating with God, seeking God’s guidance, and expressing gratitude. Please use the prayer request contact form for any prayer requests.
SERVICE to
others
Our service team is called The Church Has Left The Building. Serving God includes serving others, both within the church community and in the wider world. We grow and distribute the crops of our garden, collect household items and food for those in need, joyfully serve the elderly, and commit our labor to projects both near home and in other communities. We raise funds for those in need and we share our bounty with others.
involvement in the church community
Active involvement in the life of the church is encouraged. This includes participating in various ministries, volunteering, and supporting the church's activities and outreach efforts.
Emphasizing vocation
We believe that all vocations, whether as a parent, a worker, or a leader, are ways to serve God and others. Therefore, they encourage individuals to faithfully carry out their responsibilities and live out their faith in their daily work and relationships.
sharing the gospel
We emphasize the importance of sharing the good news of Jesus Christ with others. This includes evangelism and outreach efforts to bring people to faith in Christ.
seeking forgiveness and reconciliation
Recognizing the reality of human sinfulness, Lutherans emphasize the need for repentance and seeking forgiveness both from God and from one another.
