Traditional Worship

First Presbyterian Church Bethlehem is everything you come to expect in a highly regarded church and so much more! Follow the Christian calendar and celebrate the holy holidays with the full force of 200 choral voices joining you in worship.

Join our Traditional worship service celebrated in the Sanctuary each Sunday at 9:45 a.m. (Summer Schedule). See our online calendar for special services and worship times.

Members of First Presbyterian Church of Bethlehem share their musical gifts by leading our congregation in weekly services and holy holiday celebrations, worshiping the Trinity and uplifting our spirits to one voice in loving praise. Explore how you can join in and share your musical gifts. Or simply visit during services and special performances, and bask in symphonic devotion.

Summer Choir
Every summer we invite anyone who loves to sing, or wants to learn more about singing, to participate in SUMMER CHOIR. We rehearse at 8:45 a.m. in the newly air-conditioned Choir Room and sing at the 9:45 a.m. service in the Sanctuary. Singers of all ages and abilities are warmly welcomed and encouraged to join in the fun. It’s an uplifting, challenging and rewarding part of our Ministry of Music—why not give it a try?!?  By all reports, Greg Funfgeld and Tom Goeman are inspiring leaders and great fun to work with—come and see for yourself!  Come for one Sunday or sing throughout the summer. Sundays, June 20 through and including September 5. Join us as we REJOICE IN THE LORD!
