Bethel Baptist Church, Anaheim

Located in the heart of downtown Anaheim, Bethel Baptist Church stands as a historical and spiritual landmark with deep roots in the community. Originally established in 1902 by German immigrants, the congregation first worshiped in a modest church built in 1903. As the community grew, so did the church-culminating in the construction of the current building, completed and dedicated in 1927.

The present-day church is a striking structure, featuring a majestic dome, an elegant bell tower, and beautiful stained glass windows. This is the second church to be built on the site and serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of the congregation. Once known as the German Baptist Church and later the North American Baptist Church, it eventually became Bethel Baptist Church-a name now associated with vibrant faith and a spirit of revival.

Sunday mornings are a central moment for the Bethel community, bringing together worshippers in a unified celebration of prayer, music, and teaching. Services are led by a dynamic worship team, supported by choirs and musical ensembles, creating an uplifting and God-glorifying atmosphere. Congregational prayer and personal testimonies are part of the experience, followed by inspired messages from the pastoral team.

More than just a place of worship, Bethel Baptist Church is a community anchored in the love of God, driven by a vision of worldwide transformation and revival. The congregation sees itself as a resource center for impacting cities and nations, passionately pursuing the presence of God with the goal of making “earth look like heaven.”

Whether you’re a long-time believer or someone searching for connection and purpose, Bethel welcomes you as part of a hope-filled family committed to living out the joy and power of the Kingdom in everyday life.
