About Bethlehem Lutheran Church (Two Harbors)

Bethlehem Lutheran Church was founded in 1889, five years after the first iron ore shipped from the Agate Bay docks, and it is a member of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America's Northeastern Minnesota Synod (Bethlehem Lutheran Church, accessed 2026-08-13).

Its founding date places it among the oldest institutions in Lake County, older than the 1892 lighthouse and only slightly younger than the ore docks themselves. The congregation's history runs parallel to the town's: families arriving for railroad and dock work, and staying.

The church reports a single Sunday service at 9:00 a.m. year-round, at 601 4th Avenue.

Service times, staffing, and programs change, and this guide does not publish them without confirming directly with the congregation. Contact the church for current worship times, education programming, and accessibility.

Service times change. Confirm directly with the congregation before you attend.
