What is the Mission of BBC?

Our Mission

Bethlehem Baptist Church is a body of Christ followers who desire to glorify God by making disciples. We do this by exalting Christ in worship, through equipping the church for the work of ministry and evangelizing our neighborhood and the nations.

Our Purpose When We Gather

We are seeking to help the body of Christ study, understand, and obey the Bible. Therefore, we are committed to the expositional preaching of the Bible in our corporate gatherings. We welcome anyone to come join us as we hear, learn, and submit to the Word of God.

Our History

Bethlehem Baptist Church (BBC) was organized in 1834 (Originally called Rocky Hill Baptist Church) with 39 charter members. The first building was a log house on donated land not far from the current location. The church was renamed to Bethlehem Baptist Church in 1841. The current location has been Bethlehem’s home in four different buildings over 191 years. In early 1983, the church began an extensive building project. In 1989 a new education wing was added which features many education rooms and the current fellowship hall. The current sanctuary was an addition in the early 2000s and can seat up to 600. Since its establishment, more than 30 pastors have served the church in multiple capacities. Bethlehem Baptist is a mission minded church and has sent teams internationally to many countries including Brazil, Ukraine, and Guatemala.
