About BETHLEHEM LUTHERAN CHURCH

Established in February 1938, Bethlehem Lutheran Church (BLC) started with Sunday school classes held in a deserted store on 66th Street and 120th Avenue in 1928.In the fall of 1932, English and German church services were conducted and it quickly became apparent that a permanent home was required.

The first BLC was built on the corner of 65th Street and 119th Avenue in 1934 and in 1951 a second church was built on the corner of 59th Street and 118th Avenue. In 1961 the current property was purchased and the new building was dedicated in 1963.In 1996 -1997 a new sanctuary was added.

BLC has been blessed by the service of more than 15 Lutheran Pastors,numerous teachers and laypeople over the years. BLC has a close relationship with Concordia Seminary and Concordia University College of Alberta. Bethlehem Preschool, Sunday School, Bible studies, Lutheran Women’s Missionary League and Vacation Bible School are just a few of the events/activities that call BLC their home.
