Bethlehem Baptist Church

Bethlehem Baptist Church is a Christian house of worship in downtown Minneapolis that operates across multiple sites throughout the city. The facility hosts regular Sunday services where members and visitors gather for prayer and religious instruction.

The church was established in 1871 when a small group of believers began gathering for worship in the early Minneapolis area. Over the following decades, the community adapted to changing demographics by transitioning its services from Swedish to English.

The congregation gathers for worship in English and welcomes people from different walks of life to participate in services and community activities. Visitors experience a faith community that opens its doors to the broader Minneapolis neighborhood.

Visitors can attend worship services on Sundays by showing up during the scheduled times without any complicated requirements. The church welcomes people of all backgrounds who wish to participate in its services and community life.

The congregation has maintained long-standing relationships with communities abroad through missionary work that began in its early decades. These international connections continue to shape how the church thinks about and engages with the wider world.
