Bethlehem Lutheran Church was built in 1866 by German immigrants who brought with them a strong faith and a love for music. The Sanctuary and its grounds are marked by the Texas Historical Commission and the National Registry of Historic Sites of the National Park Service at the Department of the Interior. Our building is the work of German stonemason Carl S. Bauer and sons and the organ is a hand-made cedar organ by Johann Wandke. It is holds a citation by the Organ Historical Society.
