Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. ~ Matthew 28:19,20
Bethlehem Church provides a variety of opportunities for local, national, and world short-term missions. We believe it is our duty to reach outside the local church and spread the Gospel message to all the world, through not only words, but deeds as well. These trips allow teens and adults to learn how to share their faith on a deeper level and upon returning from the field be equppied to share thier faith with thier friends, family, and commmunity.
Stateside Missions
Stateside Mission Trips allows teens to make an impact right in thier back yard. It allows them to share their faith in thier own culture and challenges them to step outside of thier comfort zone. These trips give teens perspective on their faith and how every place in America, not matter how diverse, has a need to hear the Gospel. These trips utilize music, drama, and puppets to share the Gospel message as well as a variety of evagelistic tools.

Global Missions
Global Mission Trips challenge teens to not only share thier faith, but do in a place that is often unfamiliar and culturaly challenging. It allows them to see how an overseas missionary would raise support, acomodate travel, learn culture, and implement presentation of the Gospel in a foreign language through use of music, wordless drama, and puppet shows. These trips not only challenge the spiritual walk of each teens but also thier emotional and physical selves as well.
