Church Boards
ADMINISTRATION/BOARDS:
Bethlehem is governed by the Don Abdon model of leadership. This system gives each of the individual Boards their own budget and ministry area to develop and lead. Our central governing focus occurs at the Parish Planning Council where each Board is represented along with an Executive Team. We have the potential of 70 people being in leadership service. If you are interested in serving in one of these areas, please contact the director of the particular Board.
Trust Foundation: The Bethlehem Lutheran Church (BLC) Trust Foundation Board operates under the guidance and policies of the BLC congregation. The Trust Foundation Board was established in 2014 to enhance the work of the church by establishing new ministries and stewardship opportunities. These are in addition to and apart from the general operations of the church. They receive and administer donations, estates, insurance, memorials, tax credit contributions and other assets. These are deposited into our Endowment Fund or ND Tax Endowment Fund.
