Bethesda-by-the-Sea, Episcopal church in Palm Beach, Florida, United States

Bethesda-by-the-Sea is a Gothic Revival Episcopal church of light-colored stone beside the Lake Worth Lagoon in Palm Beach, Florida. Its square tower rises above a pointed-arch entrance framed by carved figures, and a lower section to the left repeats the pointed arches. The building surrounds a courtyard.

The congregation began in January 1889 in the Little Red Schoolhouse, and its first church was built mostly of lumber from the beach, with services starting that April. A second church, raised in spring 1895, held its last service on Easter Sunday, April 12, 1925. The first service at the present site took place on Christmas Day 1926.

The church's name comes from the biblical pool of Bethesda, and the congregation has worshipped by the Lake Worth Lagoon since 1889. Weddings held here include Donald and Melania Trump on January 22, 2005, and Michael Jordan and Yvette Prieto on April 27, 2013; Barron Trump was christened here.

The church stands by the Lake Worth Lagoon, and the building surrounds a courtyard entered from the street side. The congregation worships in the Gothic Revival church; the Cluett Memorial Garden with its koi pond and Janet Scudder angel statue is on the grounds. Access to the site was originally by boat only.

The church's name comes from the Pool of Bethesda, a healing site in the Gospel of John, and the congregation began in January 1889 in the Little Red Schoolhouse. The first church was built mostly from lumber gathered on the beach, and until later years the site was reached mainly by boat.
