Adult
Ministries
At Bethlehem, we believe that every blood-
bought believer is on a gradual but sure path
toward conformity to Jesus Christ, and that
God has ordained the faithful teaching and
application of his word, in the community of
the local church, to be the primary means
by which we grow up into Christ. Our goal
is that everyone who attends Bethlehem
would be involved in mutual faith-building
relationships through godly households
and the shepherd group ministry, and that
they would avail themselves of the various
adult opportunities to grow in the grace and
knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
