BETHLEHEM CHURCH
The organization date of this
Lutheran church is unknown. In 1788,
however, Bethlehem and 14 other
churches signed the articles of the
"Corpus Evangelicum" an early
church supervising body. By 1815,
Bethlehem's first known building had
been built ca. 5 mi. N. of here. The
church moved near Hollinshed Creek,
it is said, in 1847, and by 1897
the congregation was located here.
ERECTED BY
