About us.
Bethlehem Brethren Church began over 150 years ago with families and community
at its heart and that is who we are today. We desire to be a community church.
One in the middle of the city with a hometown feel.

A Message from the Pastor
My name is Pastor Gail Heiston. I am an ordained elder in The Brethren Church. I grew up Brethren and gave my heart and life to Christ at an early age. As a young girl all I wanted to do was serve God. It took me many, many years to figure out how to do that, but all that time God was preparing me for this time and this place.
My husband Bubby (William) and I live in Elkton and have lived there our entire 43 years of marriage. We have two children, along with their spouses, and three granddaughters that I love to spoil.
My passion is to help other people experience the love of God and see what His Son, Jesus Christ can do in their lives through the power of the Holy Spirit. I believe we do that best in community with one another as we serve people God sends to us. I have a deep love for God’s Word, and it is there, that I see Him and grow closer to Him.
If you’re looking for a place to feel loved and experience God, I invite you to join us. See what God can do!
Blessings,
Pastor Gail
