One Church on Three Locations
We are a multi-site church. As part of the Treasuring Christ Together Strategy, we aim to multiply campuses. Therefore, from our Downtown Minneapolis campus which was established in 1871, we have launched a North Campus in 2002 and a South Site in 2006. Unlike new church plants, the campuses are all part of Bethlehem with a single vision, a single strategy, a single theological foundation, a single eldership, a single constitution, a single band of missionaries, and a single budget.
Why Multi-Campus?
We are a multi-campus church, not merely to cope with crowding. We are a multi-campus church because the key verb in our mission is "to spread." God's call to our church is to be the kind of people who must live for others. The biblical truth in our Elder Affirmation of Faith is so precious and so glorious that we cannot keep it to ourselves. We exist to spread the passion that this truth awakens in us. That is what TCT is all about, and what our multi-campus strategy is all about. The goal is passion for the supremacy of God and treasuring Christ -- in more and more hearts.
