About this Ministry

The Three Kings were welcomed into God’s own home as pilgrims and this House will be a place where all visitors will be welcomed to find their connection to Bethlehem’s arts, culture and history. As the Three Kings were the first pilgrims who traveled to Bethlehem, they came from different cultures and allowed themselves to be transformed. The House of the Three Kings will similarly transform the cultural climate and people of Bethlehem, as well as the minds and hearts of visiting pilgrims.

At the House, residents of the city of Bethlehem will find a place to learn new vocational skills, find social support, and reconnect with their cultures. Moreover, both the local community and visitors will find history, art, and inspiration as they bond through friendship and a social connection.
