Welcome! 

We hope your visit to our Web page will be a similar experience to a visit with our church. The first Bethlehem, located in the hills south of Jerusalem, was the site where the world first encountered Jesus Christ. Guided by a bright, shining star, magi from far to the east and shepherds from the nearby hills were drawn to this child who would change the world.

Bethlehem Lutheran Church, located in the hills north of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA is working to be a place and a people where Jesus is able to still be encountered! We are committed to sharing Jesus Christ in a way that is faithful to the caring and yet challenging style Jesus modeled. There is a joy that comes from following Jesus that we hope to exhibit in all of our activities. There is also an opportunity to grow as people through Christ that we seek and that we share.
