Bethany Lutheran Church in Princeton, Minnesota, is a gathering place for Jesus’ followers and friends, just as the original village of Bethany was a gathering place for Jesus’ followers and friends.

We are a member of the Evangelical Lutheran Synod (ELS). Like all churches of the ELS, we believe that the Bible is God’s completely true, inspired Word, and that the central message of the Bible is our salvation through faith alone in Jesus Christ as our Savior.

We gather together to listen to our Savior’s voice in His Word and to rest in His presence in His Sacraments of Baptism, Absolution, and the Lord’s Supper.  We are a church that worships using traditional Lutheran liturgy and hymns, which — together with Christ-centered, Biblical preaching — faithfully deliver the pure Gospel message that God provides you with full and free forgiveness of all your sins.

We would love for you to join us, as we follow where He leads us, always to His cross and resurrection. We know that He is gathering us so that we will be “gathered in” together in heaven.

We use God’s gift of song chiefly to sing hymns of praise to Him in church and at home. But we also glorify Him in using His gift of song to bring joy to others. Our school children are looking forward to presenting a program of songs from great American musicals at 7 p.m. Thursday, May 17 at Our Savior’s Lutheran Church in Santiago (call 763/662-2570 for directions).

This is Princeton Lutheran School’s annual “Spring Sing.” The program this year is “On Broadway,” in which the children sing a number of songs from popular Broadway musicals, including The Sound of Music, Oklahoma, Annie, The Music Man, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat and others. Even though these are not church music selections, the children will glorify God using the gifts of music and song that come from Him. The performance is free and open to the public.
