El Shaddai Bethlehem Ministries is a non-denominational, independent organization in the Lehigh Valley committed to providing opportunities for our community to experience the joy and purpose for which we were created, fulfill our spiritual needs and change lives. Our mission to reclaim the purpose of God for the city is based on three pillars: Prayer, Worship and Missions. We want “to fan into flame the gift that is in the city” (I Timothy 1:6).

As the Moravian founders depended on round-the-clock prayer for the success of their missions, El Shaddai Bethlehem’s goal is to restore 24/7 prayer to obtain community transformation. The Prayer Center is open twenty four hours a day, seven days a week for prayer without ceasing ( 1 Thessalonians 5:17).  It provides a place where believers  can intercede for their city, their communities, their congregations, their families, and themselves. 

Worship includes weekly celebrations, women's, men's, and children's ministries, creative ministries, ministry to the poor, and opportunities for growing in the faith through seminars, Bibles tudies, classes and retreats.

The missions aspect is fulfilled through the Bethlehem Christian Training Center, a faith-based community organization that offers help such as counseling in home ownership, finances, and parenting, and provides educational enrichment for children through the Bethlehem Academy ( pre-school and day care), all meant to foster emotional, educational, and economic development in our community, particularly among Latinos.  It also includes the About Faith program to help ex-offenders re-enter society.

Since September 2005, these three pillars have been housed in the El Shaddai Bethlehem Ministries Community and Worship Center, the former Milham car dealership,  on East Broad Street in Bethlehem, PA.
