The Bethlehem Lutheran Church, Turvey Park is a member of the NSW District of the Lutheran Church of Australia, and has an additional congregation that meets at Milbrulong (see separate entry - 2656). The present congregation was formed on 4/5/1969, following the dissolving of both the St Paul's Lutheran (formed in 1925) and the Our Redeemer Lutheran (formed in 1945) congregations. The current church building was dedicated on 15/4/1973 [Sourced from:https://www.waggawagga.lca.org.au/about]. More historical information/photographs of the church/congregation are invited.
