Story

Bethel Lutheran Church is a congregation of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA). We are located in University City, MO on the corner of Big Bend and Forsyth Blvd. We celebrate Holy Communion Sundays at 10 a.m. Childcare is available. Visitors are always welcome!

The ELCA is in formal fellowship with the Episcopal Church, the Reformed Church in America, the Presbyterian Church (USA), the United Church of Christ, and the Moravian Church in America.

Believing in the real presence of Christ in the holy meal, this church practices Eucharistic hospitality -- we invite all to share in the Holy Eucharist.

We are a Reconciling in Christ (a welcoming ministry to persons of all sexual orientations and gender identities) and Stephen Ministry (a lay ministry of caring and listening) congregation. We are in covenant with Lutheran Campus Ministry. Our pastor is the Rev. Dr. William L. Yancey.
