Our worship is traditional in style, as in word and music and sacrament we seek to make God’s presence known. We take the Bible seriously but not literally, reading and hearing it as God’s word of salvation through Jesus Christ.
We are a church centered on God’s saving grace for all people. We welcome you wherever you are on your faith journey, questions, complexities and all.

Bethany's Schuelke Pipe Organ
Bethany's pipe organ was dedicated in June 1886, number 44 of 160 produced by the Schuelke Organ Company of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The organ was stored in the 1950s when the church was relocated and was refurbished by the Levsen Organ Company in the 1990s.
