Bethlehem Methodist Church is a historic church in Wildwood, Tennessee.

The church was organized in 1886 and its Gothic Revival building was completed that same year.[1] The church building has a gable front and a prominent bell tower. The doorway and windows are crowned by Gothic arches, elements of the Gothic Revival style that was popular for late 19th-century churches in the region.[2]

The congregation was dissolved in 1966, but the church is still used sometimes for weddings, funerals, and other special occasions.[1] The church and its adjacent cemetery were added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.[1]
