About Bethlehem House: 

In late 1989, a group of Conway citizens came together with a shared concern for the homeless in our community.

Homelessness is not only stressful, but spiritually, emotionally, and sometimes physically, painful. Our desire is for the families and individuals who live at Bethlehem House to move from being alone, afraid, ashamed, and depressed to becoming independent, productive, self-supporting members of the community.

Today, Bethlehem House serves 100+ people a year in their journey out of homelessness by providing not just a bed, but encouraging, equipping, and motivating  them to improve their lives.

Bethlehem House does not discriminate based upon race, religion, color, national origin, gender (including pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions), sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, age, status as a protected veteran, status as an individual with a disability, or other applicable legally protected characteristics.
