The beginnings of NorthCross Church go back to the early 1970’s when a small group of people in Lakeville recognized that this community needed a church that was passionate about sharing the gospel. Their vision led to the founding of Bethlehem Lutheran Church in 1975.

Since 1975, Bethlehem met in several locations while always staying true to its mission of sharing the good news of Jesus. As the congregation grew, the need for a larger space became clear. In 2019, the church moved to its current location on Ipava Avenue and embraced a new name: NorthCross.

Since its inception, NorthCross has reached thousands of people in Lakeville and the surrounding communities with the message of Jesus. The people who make up this church today continue to rally around the mission of leading even more people to Jesus.
