Bethlehem Church

What Bethlehem Church does

Bethlehem Church is a non-profit religious organization operating three physical campuses in Hoschton, Winder, and Bishop, Georgia, led by Lead Pastor Jason Britt since 2011 and affiliated with the Southern Baptist Convention. The organization serves congregants through weekly services, age-segmented ministries (Kids, Students, Young Adults, Special Needs, International), small groups, and global missions programs active in 7+ countries. Its digital infrastructure includes a mobile app, online streaming, a podcast network, an online giving platform, and a prayer wall, enabling remote engagement and digital donations.

The organization operates a donation-based, non-profit business model funded by individual contributions through one-time gifts, recurring giving, stock donations, and planned giving channels. A "one fund" framework consolidates giving to support ministry operations, outreach, and new campus launches. The church also runs a Residency Program in partnership with Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, functioning as a leadership development pipeline.

Named to Outreach Magazine's Top 100 Fastest-Growing Church list every year since 2016, Bethlehem Church has scaled from a single campus to three Georgia locations while expanding its ministry portfolio and digital presence. The organization employs approximately 56 staff and relies on volunteer engagement, small-group participation, and community programming to retain and grow its congregation. Its competitive position is built on multi-site physical distribution, a comprehensive ministry ecosystem, and consistent brand recognition within the U.S. evangelical church landscape.
