Bellamy was pastor of the Bethlehem Congregational Church from 1740 until his death 50 years later, and over that period of time he emerged as a distinguished author, preacher, and teacher, acheiving national renown for his powerful sermons. His home stands as proudly today as it did in the 18th century and is now a museum.
