MISSION
The visual arts have played a crucial role in communicating God’s word throughout history. In 1968 the Bethel Lutheran Church Fine Arts Committee was established to develop Bethel’s own Fine Arts Program as an outreach of God’s word. The collection includes more than 250 works of art, which add to the beauty of our church and our ongoing worship experience. They also serve as an outreach to the greater community.
VISION
To support various visual art mediums that convey God’s word in new ways to the communities within and beyond Bethel.
PROGRAM
The Fine Arts Committee sponsors six art shows a year which are generally displayed on the Gallery Wall outside the Emmaus Room. Pieces from Bethel’s Permanent Collection and the work of local artists are part of these exhibits. Art pieces which communicate the Christian message are occasionally purchased and added to the collection displayed throughout Bethel’s sacred spaces.
