Growing in Faith Together
Hi! We’re glad you’re here!
First Presbyterian Church of Bethlehem is a warm community of faith with an expansive welcome.
We pride ourselves on trying new things to deepen our worship experiences, nurture intergenerational relationships, cultivate spiritual growth, and build meaningful connections to create change in our community. Our four core values help guide us along the way:
Christ-Centered | An Inquiring Faith | An Active Faith | Welcoming to All

There are many ways to connect with us throughout the seasons, even as we are limited in our in-person gatherings. Let’s engage!
FPCB in the Community
While we have been limited in our typical outreach activities, we have connected in new ways while looking ahead to future opportunities.
Welcoming to All
Our goal at First Presbyterian Church of Bethlehem is to provide a warm, welcoming and inclusive opportunity to connect with God. We understand that each person has a very personal relationship with God and connects with God in different ways.
Wherever you are in your faith journey, we want to serve as a Christian community that helps you
fully embrace your spiritual being, develop a sustaining faith, and find purpose, meaning,
and joy in your life.
Congregational Mission
As a diverse and joyful community of Christ’s followers, we explore how God’s gracious love gives meaning to our lives and faith and inspires us to address the needs of our world. Through our worship, learning, and service, God fills us with purpose, compassion, courage, and hope.
