Welcome! New Bethlehem Church is a traditional Christian church in the Presbyterian tradition. We are large enough to enjoy engaging and dynamic missions, worship, and programming for children, youth, and adults. And we are small enough to experience the warmth and authenticity of a real church family.
We recognize that Jesus Christ, alone, is Lord and offers the living water of salvation and a purposeful and fulfilling life. Our foundation is built on the redeeming grace and ministry of Jesus Christ, who is revealed in the Holy Bible.
Join us for worship this Sunday!
Mission Statement
Our mission is to joyfully serve the Lord Jesus Christ and to humbly serve our neighbors in His name.
Vision Statement
Our vision is to serve the Lord Jesus Christ by:
Worshiping Him in spirit and in truth
Enjoying community, support, and encouragement as a church family
Equipping children, youth, and adults to be effective disciples of Jesus Christ through dynamic ministries and programs
And to serve our neighbor in His name by:
Sharing the good news of salvation in ways that bring transformation and renewal
Engaging in “hands on” ministry and mission
Welcoming all who are called to serve the Lord
Being Jesus’ arms and legs, hands and feet in our community
Pastor Randall earned his Master of Divinity from the Union Theological Seminary and Presbyterian School of Christian Education in Richmond, Virginia, in May 2005. He was ordained as a Minister of the Word and Sacrament in the Presbyterian Church (USA) and began his ministry as our pastor in October of that same year.
Before answering God’s call to full-time ministry, Pastor Randall served his community as a deputy sheriff and police officer. He holds a Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice from Virginia Commonwealth University.
Outside of his ministry, he enjoys spending time with his wife, Mary, and their three children: Kemp, Caroline, and Sarah. Pastor Randall is a firm believer that worship should be both enthusiastic and joyful, and that sermons must remain deeply rooted in Scripture while staying relevant to modern life. He is dedicated to the idea that the church is a family where everyone is truly welcome.
Favorite Scripture: “But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved... For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God.” — Ephesians 2:4-8
