Bethlehem United Methodist Church has stood as a house of prayer, purpose, and spiritual nourishment since the 1800s. We’re not just a church—we’re a legacy of love, rooted in Christ and still growing.
Bethlehem UMC is a multigenerational church family in Greenville, SC, committed to creating a sacred space for all. Though our numbers are small, our spirit is big—and every seat is a chance for connection.
Whether you’re seeking healing, purpose, or a church that feels like home, you’ll find it here. We believe in powerful prayer, the movement of the Holy Spirit, and walking boldly in faith together.
“We believe in the transforming power of grace, the strength of community, and the call to love boldly. At Bethlehem, faith isn’t just something we speak, it’s something we live.”
From humble beginnings to the present day, Bethlehem has stood as a beacon of hope for the community. Our legacy began over a century ago and continues today through service, worship, and unshakable faith in Jesus Christ.
