Hello! My name is Deb Mechler, and it is my privilege to serve the congregation of Bethlehem Lutheran Church in Royal, Iowa as their pastor. We are located in a small town in northwest Iowa, where the corn grows tall and the people are friendly and generous. We would love to invite you to worship with us any Sunday morning at 9:30 a.m. and stay for coffee afterward.

Bethlehem is truly a family church, with deep roots but also a desire to welcome you as “one of us!” We take our mission seriously—to make disciples for Jesus Christ in our thoughts, words and deeds. Let us show you how we do that for children, teens and adults in a variety of ways. Maybe you can help us do it better! Come on over and give us a try.
