The members and friends of Bethel Lutheran Church are delighted that you've found us on GiveMN!  Bethel is located at 4120 17th Ave South, Minneapolis, MN . The church takes up an entire city block, and we LOVE to share our space with our neighbors.


This past year we planted many new trees in the yard surrounding our building and we are excited to watch the trees grow. As usual our community garden will soon be busy with activity with help from many of our neighbors. And our Community Labyrinth is a great place for fun with kids, as well as some quiet contemplation.


Bethel is planning to offer many more outdoor and indoor activities to encourage our neighbors to join us for programs such as: Subsidized Coffee Truck Visits, Sidewalk Talks, Outdoor music venues and lessons,  Community Theater, and many other great ideas!  We are particularly committed to offering options for anyone who is lonely by:

Building community with those most at-risk for loneliness; providing opportunities for—play & art, person-to- person conversations, connections & relationship building; engagement with nature; education around creation care; and educating populous regarding loneliness & its impacts.


During the first 11 days in May, Bethel Lutheran Church has a chance to receive matching grants the GiveMN, up to $1000.00 or more. Our goal is to raise $10,000.00 by the end of July.

Bethel Lutheran Church joyfully partners with Bancroft Neighborhood Association, Nokomis Healthy Seniors, Bread of Life Deaf Lutheran Church, Casa de Oracion Pentecostal, Casa de Oracion Minnesota,  Every Meal, ReconcilingWorks, and the Minneapolis Area Synod. 


We invite you to learn about the other things we're up to including scheduling calendars, worship resources, and opportunities to participate in our many programs and activities through our website at:

For you, with our neighbors,

Rev. Brenda Froisland
