“Bethlehem Worship and Music” is a ministry based on Colossians 3:16 which commands us to sing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs with thankfulness in our hearts to God. Songs in our 9am Early Worship Gathering emphasize the heritage of our faith through mostly traditional hymns. Our 11 a.m. Worship Gathering is led by our praise band and consists of a blend of newer songs with the old. Our desire is to worship the Lord together, exalting Him and encouraging one another in the faith. Other music ministry opportunities include:
- Featured Music/Soloists: Bethlehem is blessed with talented singers and musicians who provide featured songs during our worship gatherings.
- Praise Band: Volunteers at all levels of skill and experience make up our praise band that leads worship each Sunday at 11:00 a.m. Those wanting to learn and offer instrumental praise are invited to join this growing ministry.
- Audio and Video Ministry: Bethlehem utilizes a number of different technologies in our services for both audio support and video support. Trained volunteers make up our Audio and Sound Ministry which is essential to our Sunday Morning worship gatherings.
The Bethlehem Student Ministry is a ministry for 6th – 12th grade with a focus on becoming disciples of Christ. We believe we have been uniquely created in God’s image and given a purpose to live for Christ and to share Christ. God’s Word is essential to our knowledge, spiritual growth, and course to godly living. Learning to obey the directing of the Holy Spirit into all truth and godliness. While meeting together on a consistent basis for discipleship, prayer, and Christian fellowship/friendship is a core value we hold. As this follows, God can bring more clarity to the calling He has placed on each of our lives and direction on how to maintain a life pleasing to Him.
