What can I expect on my first visit?
A warm and friendly person will welcome you at the door of Bethlehem Church!  Whether you have children, a family or are coming by yourself, our Host Teams are designed to make your visit very enjoyable.

Bethlehem offers a friendly, casual service with live music from our band and a classic service.  Each message deals with Bible-based principles relevant to today’s living.

You will find Bethlehem to be a welcoming group of people.  Please feel free to dress comfortably - our pastor does not even wear a suit!

 
What is unique about Bethlehem?
From the time you walk in the door, until the moment you leave, we are committed to making your time with us a creative and exciting presentation of God’s truth.

Pastor Dickie Spargo speaks on relevant issues to our lives.  He focuses on how the Bible really does have answers for our everyday life.

Our Worship Team provides inspirational, energetic music that will lift your spirit and connect you to Christ.
 
Where do I take my children?
Bethlehem has secure, clean, kid-friendly environments, where parents and children can feel comfortable and at ease.  “The Cove” is for children, age birth through five year olds. From large group in the Lighthouse (music, drama, video, etc.) to small groups with kids their age, your child will experience some very important truths:  God made them, God loves them and Jesus wants to be their friend forever.  The learning process is a fun, weekly “hands-on” setting in classrooms full of objects for kids to touch, wild and wiggly activities to get them moving, crafts they will love getting into and real life situations they can relate to.  Our Cove Teaching Team is committed to living like Jesus, loving your children and building relationships with them as they develop their ability to know and worship Him.  For more information, visit the Cove at www.knowandgrowcove.com.

Startown is for kids age 5 through 5th grade.  They have large group in the Theater and it is an incredible time for kids to learn lessons of faith and obedience from the greatest book ever written, the Bible. We focus on core virtues that apply to our lives and grow together just like Jesus did (Luke 2:52).  Your child will also have valuable small group interaction time to help introduce children to the best friend they will ever have… Jesus Christ.  We strive for church to be one of the favorite places your child goes in their week - and we want them to come back and bring their friends.
