The Ebenezer Bible Fellowship Church (formerly Ebenezer Mennonite Brethren in Christ Church or Bethlehem Mennonite Brethren in Christ Church, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, was early one of the largest churches of this denomination. In 1887 W. B. Musselman became the first pastor and erected a temporary frame church on Main Street, which was replaced the following year by another on Laurel Street. The brick church at 1121-25 North Main Street was dedicated 8 February 1920. From 1887 to 1923 there were ten pastors. From then to 1952 the ministers were F. M. Hottel, 1923-32; P. T. Stengele, 1932-45; and N. H. Wolf, after 1945. In 1952 there were 385 members.
