We are a Christ-preaching church, which proclaims Jesus Christ, the crucified and risen Lord, the only Savior for all the people of the world. Through his suffering, death, and resurrection, we have the forgiveness of sins and everlasting life.

We are a Bible-believing church that teaches that the Bible is the true and inspired Word of God, the only authority for Christian faith and life. The WELS aims to teach God's Word in all its truth and simplicity.

We are an evangelical church. This means that Bethlehem Lutheran, like the rest of the WELS, is a church that wants to bring the news of Jesus to all people. The WELS has congregations in all 50 states, in Canada, and carries on mission work in 23 foreign countries.

We are a people-caring church. The WELS offers friendship, support, counsel, direction, and love. Why? Because the people of our church care about other people. And that includes you.
