General Info

Welcome to Bethlehem United Methodist Church, a congregation of Christian believers with over 180 years of history proclaiming the gospel and lifting the Biblical Faith before Dallastown and the surrounding community. We are a church that believes in the power of the love of God to bring new life to all people who earnestly seek it. We see the cross as a place where all people may stand in unity. We are diverse in our membership, yet united with Christ in our commitment. We believe in the teaching that the Church is an essential part of God's plan, and that the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. ( Matthew 16: 18 ) I Corinthians 12: 4-26 tells us that there are a variety of gifts, but the same spirit. John Wesley spoke of that oneness, saying, In the essentials, unity; in the non-essentials - freedom; in all things - love. Rather than seek conformity, our Christian task is to use our unique gifts to meet the needs of people. We are a servant Congregation, using our unique gifts to meet the needs of the people in our community as best we can. We believe we are on the edge of an exciting new era. Come join us!
