Bonham, Texas -- Greetings in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord!

The congregation at Bethlehem Baptist Church in Bonham is filled with excitement and anticipation for this upcoming day! We extend an invitation to the community to join us in celebrating 153 years of service to Fannin County.

Bethlehem Baptist Church, also known as The House of Bread, is situated at 1415 Franklin Ave. in Bonham and is recognized as the oldest black church in the county. Reverend Stuart P. Courtney serves as the senior pastor, leading the congregation.

Please mark your calendars for July 28 to join Pastor Courtney and The HOB family for this special occasion. The morning service will start at 10:30 a.m., followed by an appreciation lunch from 12:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. Our evening celebration service will commence at 3:00 p.m., featuring Pastor Darrell Franklin Sr from St. James Baptist Church of Honey Grove as the special guest.

In addition to in-person services, the church also offers broadcast options on their website and social media platforms for those unable to attend. Online giving is accessible at www.bethlehemofbonham.net for those interested.
