About

We are an active Lutheran church serving the people of Brooklyn for more than 100 years.  The members of Bethlehem Lutheran Church invite you to tour our website (http://www.bethlehembayridge.org), learn more about us, and come to one of our 10:30 a.m. Sunday services.  We hold a traditional service with music from our organist and 15-member choir, and have a "family friendly" program that takes care of your children during the service.  We offer an experience that makes everyone feel welcome.

Our Mission: To serve God and God's people.  To live our faith daily through worship, and providing education, support, nourishment, compassion, good counsel, love, and service to the larger community - welcoming all who join us in this mission.

Our Statement of Welcome: Bethlehem Lutheran Church is a Reconciling in Christ congregation.  People of all sexual orientations and gender identities are welcome within the membership of this congregation and are encouraged to share in the sacramental and general life of this Christian family.
