Bethany Lutheran Church of Wenona

302 Birch Street
815-853-4023

History:

Bethany Lutheran Church was founded by Swedish immigrants in 1892 and became a part of the Augustana Lutheran Church of America following the merger of several Lutheran churches. It is now a member of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA).

A major renovation of the original building took place in 1978, including the refurbishing of the sanctuary and construction of a parish hall.

The story of Bethany is no means complete. The courage and faith in God of the original founders continues in the lives of the members today.
