Bethlehem Lutheran Church Foundation

The Bethlehem Lutheran Church Foundation was created in 1957 with little more than $1,000 as seed money for the future. Gifts today are added to many previous gifts, thereby connecting generations, supporting ministries, and carry God’s love into the future. That’s Bridge Building.

Bridge Builders make it possible to prepare the next generation of pastors, pilot new ministries like Dinner Church, build Habitat Housing, and send youth from a remote northern Minnesota community to experience the ELCA National Youth Gathering in New Orleans, LA. 

While financial distributions are called grants, these are more than grants - they represent lives touched, faith deepened, and futures changed. All gifts build spiritual connections across our congregation, community, and the world, rooted in the promises of Christ. 

Your financial support today will build a bridge from yesterday’s faithful to tomorrow’s hopeful. 

Thank you!
