Adult
Library
The church library is located just off the Narthex (east side of the building). It offers a variety of books for children, teens, and adults. Our church librarian is Noreen Halvorson. Look for updated information on the library shortly.
Lifelong learning inspires and empowers us to live as disciples of Jesus Christ.
We also learn from one another when we serve side by side. Please check out the opportunities to learn and grow at Bethlehem.
