Bethany Lutheran Church

About Us

Bethany Lutheran had its beginnings when a small group of residents met to organize the First Scandinavian Evangelical Lutheran Church of Muck in October of 1898. They purchased an 18-acre tract of land and had a church completed in the fall of 1900. The church was dedicated June 8, 1902.The services were first held in Norwegian, but later this practice was discontinued. The property was transferred to Bethany English Lutheran Church of Muck Valley, organized in 1916. During the 1940s services were held in a small church the congregation had purchased at Weyerhauser.


For more than a century a great cloud of witnesses who have been and are the members of Bethany Lutheran have faithfully lived and shared the good news of God's great love for this community and beyond, which continues to be our mission and our calling.


We invite you to come and see and experience what it means to be welcomes as a part of the Body of Christ.
