Welcome to the Bethany Lutheran Church in Ishpeming, Michigan.
Hello I'm Carl Pellonpaa
My wife, Doris, and I have been members of Bethany Lutheran Church for over 50 years because of its unique sense of family.
Founded about 140 years ago, Bethany is located in Michigan's Upper Peninsula.

You will see a few glimpses of life here at Bethany Evangelical Lutheran Church.
Founded in 1860 by Swedish immigrants, who came here to mine the area's rich iron ore deposits.
Swedes and miners are still part of the mix 138 years later, but they are joined by many others - some lifelong Lutherans - and some from other faith backgrounds.
Worship - of course - is central to what we do, but there is lots more going on.
So enjoy the video and enjoy exploring the rest of our website.
Better still come and join us when you can.
Bethany Lutheran celebrates God with wonderful sounds.
From a glorious choir to gifted Bells.Bethany has one of the finest organs in midwest.
The pipes to the century old organ were restored a decade ago.
A original church bell from the late 1800s still rings for worship services and
other events.&l
