Bethlehem Baptist Church
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bethlehem Baptist Church (BBC) is a megachurch in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA. BBC is affiliated to the Baptist General Conference.
The church was founded in 1871 as the First Swedish Baptist Church of Minneapolis. Services in English started in 1893. Services in Swedish continued until the 1930s.
Since 1980 the senior pastor has been John Piper.
Bethlehem has three campuses: one in downtown Minneapolis, one in Moundsview and one in Burnsville. It has branched out into a few other churches including the newest church, All Nations Christian Fellowship which is pastored by Pastor Sherard Burns.
BBC's vision statement is, "We exist to spread a passion for the supremacy of God in all things for the joy of all peoples through Jesus Christ."
