A Short History of Bethel Lutheran Church:
Bethel Lutheran was founded in 1954 and the first service was held in East Elementary School in Grandville on May 2, 1954 and was attended by eighty-five people. Two years later ground was broken and a permanent sanctuary was built at our present location. A daughter congregation, (Holy Cross, Jenison) was born in 1965. In order to better serve the needs of the congregation and community, the sanctuary was renovated and additional classrooms, nurseries, a choir room and office space were added and dedicated in February of 1989.
