Builder: M.P. Möller R-844, 1971 Originally M.P.Möller Opus 3397, 1922 Manuals: 3 Ranks: 21 Action: Electro-pneumatic Notes: Historic Significance: Bethlehem is the old First Swedish Baptist Church of Minneapolis. It was organized in 1871, in a hall at 2nd St. and Nicollet Ave. It was the first Swedish Baptist Church in the Twin City area. It changed its name to Bethlehem Baptist and continues a strong ministry to this day. --Information from Jeff Scofield and The Baptist General Conference History Center at Bethel. There are currently three campuses -- Downtown, Moundsview and Lakeville. It is not known if the organ still exists. At one point this church expressed interest in the Andover organ from St. John's Lutheran in Northfield, but the pastor did not want to see the organ pipes and that plan was scrapped. The church appears to have been remodeled and possibly turned 90 degrees. Facebook photos show a Hammond B-3 and electronic keyboards with the praise band.
