Bethel Lutheran Church

"They are like family members to anyone that will open there hearts for love you guys thank you for your love and support"

"I like how they provide breakfast, hot lunch and clothes for homeless people. I feel that this place could be brighter though."

"Don't send me trash mailers trying to convert me. It seems to imply people with tattoos, piercings, and black people don't believe in god. I'm hoping this is a terrible overlook, but come on. Even my very Catholic grandmother and extended family accepts my piercings and tattoos. Many practicing Catholics in my family have similar body modifications. Some have far more tattoos than I do. I can't believe I'm sitting here thinking northern Lutherans are as discriminating as Southern Baptists. It's not a good look even if it's pure advertising with no expectation to convert someone. Because honestly who's going to convert from a mailer? And the implications of the black person, how do you even mess up this badly in 2022 in MADISON, WISCONSIN? Come on. Why is he squinting like he's high, but the white people aren't? Why is this on a police line up background? Every person in the "happy at church" pictures are white. MAYBE one person isn't, but it's a black and white photo. There's a listing for a Nordic choir? AND preaching how wonderful you are for social justice throughout? Sweet merciful Satan, I'm not a person who runs around shouting about this stuff, but this is a lot. Do better."

"All Around Great Church. Friendly Community Place That Offers Sunday Services, As Well As Community Help With A Food Pantry, And Homeless Support Services. This Well Kept Church And It's Staff Are Amazing! Big Props To Pastor John Who Married My Husband And I. GREAT CHURCH!"

"We have used the food pantry here many times and we have never had s bad experience. They are always very helpful, and this last time we went, the elevator was taking a while to come, so a nice man took us an alternative way to speed things up (we have four kids) and then even helped us put the groceries into the car. The extra help was very appreciated."
