About Bethesda Church Huron:

In other words, we essentially hold the same convictions as conservative evangelical Baptist churches, but with a different origin story for our founding.

We have existed for 81 years in the Huron Area as we have sought to faithfully fulfill the Great Commission of making disciples of all nations, both locally and all over the world. We average 250-300 in Sunday morning attendance, have a variety of ministry programming for all ages, and desire to be more intentional in reaching our own back yard for Christ.
