Partner Congregations
Bethel Lutheran Church is in partnership
(through the ELCA Division for Outreach) with two congregations beyond
the Madison area:
* Hephatha Lutheran Church, Milwaukee, WI. Hephatha Lutheran is a vital
inner city church serving its members (primarily Afro-American) and the
surrounding community. Pastor Mary Martha offers programs including a
work program for youth (which gives them a small income, some work
experience, and an employment reference), assistance to those recently
released from prison, and hope and counseling to her membership. Pr.
Mary Martha is sensitive the pulse of the neighborhood and helps the
residents survive in a difficult world.
* The Hmong Ministry and the Hispanic Ministry at Ascension Lutheran
Church, Milwaukee, WI. Ascension Lutheran Church is located in the
center of the city of Milwaukee. Three congregations worship in three
different languages. . . Hmong, Spanish, and English. Bethel supports
the Hmong and Hispanic ministries.
