Leadership Council

 

Here at the Bethlehem Baptist Church, affectionately called the Bethlehem Nation; we believe in doing the work that God has granted us the ability to do. In Matthew 9:37, Jesus caringly says that the harvest is plentiful, but the labors are few, therefore, at the Bethlehem Nation our desire is to grow and go to the places where we can be used to harvest more laborers for the kingdom of God.
