Our History
Before the year 2000, Bethlehem Lutheran Church, located in the Hyde Park neighborhood of North St. Louis, began making repairs.
Over the span of 20 months, Bethlehem received four donated properties that were all located within a two-block radius.
Led by Mr. Benjamin Berry, rehabilitation of the first of these 4 properties was completed in November 1999. Sister churches like Faith Lutheran Church (Oakville, MO), Lord of Life Lutheran Church (Chesterfield, MO), Lutheran Church of the Resurrection (Sunset Hills, MO) and Webster Gardens Lutheran Church (Webster Groves) brought many volunteer workers to assist Bethlehem in the renovation of three additional properties.
Salisbury Park, a new nine block living community, is the current project of Better Living Communities.
