Phased Reopening of In-person Worship at Bethlehem

Below you will find information for our phased reopening. Plans are subject to change during this season, so check back here or on social media for the most up-to-date information.

We will continue to offer online services indefinitely so that if you are uncomfortable with returning you’ll be able to continue to worship as part of our community.

We have returned to our regular in-person worship times at 8:15 and 10:45. Sunday school for adults, youth or children and children’s church meetings vary. Follow up with the church or your Sunday school leader to learn more. Please review the safety guidelines below to insure a safe and meaningful experience of worship for all. We are limiting access to the building. The only exterior doors that will be open are (1) The main sanctuary doors (2) The gym doors for elevator access. (3) The door into the connector (between the sanctuary and the old sanctuary).

Streaming– we will continue our Facebook live service broadcast and immediately make the service available on YouTube. Streaming links are listed above.
