We Share More Than a Building | "Why am I glad the church is linked arm-in-arm with the school? …Bethlehem shares with Bethlehem College and Seminary a vision of the Christian life in which 'knowing Christ' and 'enjoying Christ' belong together. We want students not only to understand what is true, but to see the beauty and worth of Christ, treasure him above all, and find their deepest and most satisfying joy in him." Pastor Kenny Stokes

Welcome week has concluded! Students spent the rest of their week getting to know each other and our city. Classes begin Monday!
The Lord was gracious today to give us a beautiful day of worship and fellowship as we welcomed to students into the Bethlehem Community. Would you pray for these incoming students as they begin to build friendships and start classes on Monday?
A highlight of our annual staff day away is praying over each incoming student by name. Would you join us in praying for our students arriving next week?
