Belarus in Partnership with
Fairfax Presbyterian Church

We are in partnership with Minsk Bethlehem Church in Minsk, Belarus, a republic in the former Soviet Union.

In 1991 and 1995, we sent mission teams to support this new congregation and we provide annual funding for Bethlehem's full time deacon supporting his evangelical efforts of calling on the residents of the large housing complexes that surround the church.

The Bethlehem church building is now complete as well as the Sunday school classrooms, cafeteria and kitchen. The project has been expanded to include a nursing home for the elderly and a seminary. The church has grown, with 160 adults and Sunday School attendance increasing. The Bethlehem Church is now starting a new congregation about 40 miles from Minsk which is supplied by members of the Bethlehem Church.
