This article is about a church in Pratt City. For other churches with the same name, see Bethel Baptist Church (disambiguation).

The Bethel Baptist Church of Pratt City is a large Baptist church at 1708 Spencer Avenue in Pratt City. T. L. Lewis has been pastor since 1982.

The church building was irreparably damaged by the April 2011 tornado. Pastor Tommy L. Lewis established a "Pratt City Disaster Relief Center" at Scott School, coordinating relief efforts for the community. The congregation of 2,000 met temporarily at the Fair Park Arena while planning to rebuild.

The church held its first service in the new building on August 24, 2014.
