History
The original 45ft by 24ft church started with started with only 35 members in 1879.ย It was located on land donated by Nels Ludington of Chicago’s Ludington Lumber Company.ย In 1891, the congregation had grown so much that a second church was built on the property in 1891 that seated 300 people and had a 175-ft tower that helped guide ships into the harbor. In 1912, the present brick church was used for the first time. It cost $39,000 to construct. In 1917, the name of the church was changed to Bethany Lutheran Church, and in 1924 tower chimes were installed in honor of WWI veterans. The Prince of Sweden even visited the church in 1948.
