Community in Roxborough
For over 177 years, Bethany Lutheran Church and its adjoining parsonage stood as quiet yet vital pillars in the heart of Roxborough. Founded in 1851 by German immigrants, the church at 401 Martin Street was more than a place of worship—it was a cultural anchor, shaping neighborhood identity through times of change, growth, and resilience.
The parsonage at 4351 Pechin Street served as the pastor’s residence and an extension of the church’s mission, offering hospitality and guidance across generations.
Together, these buildings formed a hub of faith and service for the community. Though the final service was held in 2022, the spirit of Bethany lives on in the stories, architecture, and deep-rooted sense of place it helped create.
