Missionary activity is a focus at Bethlehem Baptist, both at home and abroad.
Located just blocks from the U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Bethlehem Baptist Church is an evangelical church with an impressive history in Minnesota. Originally formed in 1871 by a group of 22 Swedish Baptists, the church has become a center of evangelical Christianity in Minnesota. Bethlehem Baptist is a complex case study in how evangelical churches can defy categorization, on political and religious levels.
