On Sunday, September 27, 2026, Bethlehem Lutheran Church celebrated a significant and joyful milestone as we gathered for the installation of Pastor Francik.

Surrounded by family, friends, fellow pastors, and members of the congregation, Pastor Francik was formally installed into his call as pastor of Bethlehem. The service was filled with worship, prayer, Scripture, and thanksgiving to God for His faithful provision.

An installation service is a special occasion in the life of a congregation. It is an opportunity to recognize God’s work in calling a shepherd to serve His people through the preaching of His Word, the administration of His Sacraments, and pastoral care. We give thanks that the Lord has brought Pastor Francik to Bethlehem and look forward to the years of ministry ahead.

We are grateful to everyone who attended the service and helped make the day a meaningful celebration. The fellowship shared afterward was a wonderful reminder of the blessings God gives through the family of faith.

As we begin this new chapter together, we ask for your continued prayers for Pastor Francik, his family, and the ministry of Bethlehem Lutheran Church. May God strengthen us through His Word, deepen our faith in Christ, and guide us as we serve our community in His name.

“I will give you shepherds after My own heart, who will feed you with knowledge and understanding.”
Jeremiah 3:15

We thank God for His faithfulness and look forward with confidence and joy to all that He will do in the years ahead.
