Our Story 

Bethel Northeast is a church plant that had its beginnings in November 2010, when God instructed Bishop Eric Lambert, Jr. to begin planting churches. At that time, Pastor Tim faithfully served as youth pastor of Bethel Deliverance International Church, and after much prayer and direction from the lord, Bishop Lambert appointed Pastor Tim as Lead Pastor of Bethel Northeast.

 

Before starting services, Pastor Tim was given the task of assembling seven believers to start the work including his wife, Lady Shante Baldwin. Pastor Tim, along with his team of seven, sought the Lord for direction for Bethel Northeast’s location.

 

From that time of prayer, he was led to set up a formal meeting with the principal of Woodrow Wilson Jr. High school located in the Northeast section of Philadelphia but was not successful in his initial attempts. If anyone knows Pastor Tim’s drive and tenacity to get things done, he decided to set up an impromptu meeting with the principal and to his surprise, she was more than welcoming to the idea of having a church in her school. Her exact words to pastor were “whatever you need, you can have, because we've been waiting for someone like you to come to our school.”

 

Woodrow Wilson became the first official meeting place for the ministry. While there, Pastor Tim served on the parent teacher’s committee, where he helped bring positive change. During Bethel’s time at Woodrow Wilson, we were able to make a positive impact on the school community in various ways with students and teachers alike.

 

Noticing the rapid growth of the ministry, Pastor Tim and the team began their search for another worship space to call Bethel’s new home. After several months of searching, Bethel Northeast was led to our current location at 7770 Dungan Rd. After acquiring the space, there was a two-year window filled with uncertainty, several setbacks, and intense attacks from the enemy.

 

In May of 2015, Bethel Northeast finally held its first church service, but noticed a short time later that our space was yet too small. After two years of services, we acquired the adjacent space, formerly an Irish Pub, and called it the Family Life Center. With the blessings of the Lord, Bethel Northeast continues to experience phenomenal growth and has added several new members, two Sunday services, a plethora of auxiliary ministries and countless souls to the kingdom of God.
