Management

We journey with God, to serve with love

Partners in Ministry

 

As a church, one of the most important things we do is to love our neighbors.  Whether it is our next-door neighbor or a neighbor living on the other side of the world, Bethlehem seeks to share the love of Christ.  But we also know that we don't do it alone.  We work with several different partners in ministry who all shine Christ's light in our world.

 

Boardman River Clean Sweep

The BRC is a Michigan 501(c)(3) Non-Profit Organization that exists to keep the rivers of Northern Michigan clean.  During the spring, summer and fall months, BRC can be found paddling our rivers and cleaning up trash and debris.  And we re not confined to the Boardman...BLC volunteers have traveled the Manistee, Betsie, Jordan, and others.

Centered in God’s abundant grace and shaped by the heart and mind of Christ, this ministry occurs in environments which awaken, renew, sustain and strengthen relationships with God and each other.

The Mission of the Grand Traverse Baby Pantry is to support parents in meeting the basic needs of their youngest children by providing, at no charge, in a supportive, respectful environment: diapers, food,

Living Water International

Living Water International exists to demonstrate the love of God by helping communities acquire desperately needed clean water, and to experience "living water"—the gospel of Jesus Christ—which alone satisfies the deepest thirst.  783 million people lack access to safe drinking water.  In response to this need, Living Water International implements participatory, community-based water solutions in developing countries. Since starting, more than 10,000 water projects (and counting!) for communities in 26 countries have been completed.
