Bethlehem Farm is a community that thrives on four basic cornerstones: service, prayer, community, and simplicity. Volunteer weeks are organized to provide basic home repair and Christian outreach to the local community surrounding Bethlehem Farm. Volunteers come for a week experience of the Gospel in action.

We envision the purpose of Bethlehem Farm to:
+ be a center of reflection and prayer in the service of action, inspired by the Eucharist and open to the Spirit.
+ work with people and empower people to address local needs, especially low-income home repair, but remaining open to God’s call for us to other ministries.
+ form a “contrast community”that chooses to build with God’s plans in mind, rather than blindly following a culture that promotes pleasure, wealth, and power.
+ pray in both traditional and creative ways in order to foster spiritual growth, keep the focus on Christ, and mutually encourage one another
+ encourage metanoia in ourselves, our volunteers, and the community we serve, with emphasis on the Eucharist as a sign of the coming of the Kingdom of God
+ form an intentional Christian community of trust, commitment, faithfulness, and challenge in the spirit of the Apostles
+ be an authentic local community that seeks to ‘be the change we wish to see in the world’and which, therefore, supports sustainable practices
+ embody genuine Christian beliefs to counter existing misconceptions regarding the Catholic Church and its people, letting our actions witness to our faith
+ strive to be one Body in Christ by pursuing ecumenical ventures and always giving a favorable interpretation to others’ views as a sign of mutual respect
