The modified Grecian Cross above the altar was designed by Cyrus Running, Concordia College Art Department in Moorhead, Minnesota, and installed in 1981. The circular pattern combined with the cross expresses the conviction that we see the glory of God in the Cross of Jesus. We use this cross for our church logo (of which you can see one variant to the right). |

Paul Granlund's sculpture, "Crucifixion," graces the exterior of Bethlehem Church and was dedicated in 1975 to the memory of Earl Madsen. The sculpture depicts the two thieves with Christ on the cross. Christ's upraised arms support the dying thieves conveying His divine willingness to befriend and forgive. |
