Welcome to Bethany Lutheran Church
Welcome to our congregation, where we warmly embrace you into a community rooted in the profound belief that the Holy Scriptures, encompassing the canonical books of the Old and New Testaments, are the inspired, inerrant, and infallible Word of God, revealed for our salvation. We hold these scriptures as the guiding light for our faith and life, and we cherish the Holy Sacraments of Baptism and the Lord’s Supper as means of grace when united with God’s Word. Our teachings are deeply rooted in scripture, such as II Timothy 3:16, which emphasizes the divine inspiration of all Scripture, and Matthew 28:18-20, which calls us to make disciples of all nations. We joyfully embrace the Apostles’, Nicene, and Athanasian Creeds, alongside the Unaltered Augsburg Confession and Luther’s Small Catechism, as authentic expressions of our Christian faith. As part of the Association of Free Lutheran Congregations, we cherish our commitment to self-governance under the guidance of the Word and the Spirit of God. We invite you to join us in this journey of faith, where you will find a welcoming community and a place to grow spiritually, surrounded by grace and fellowship.
