Why Bethel?

Our Mission

Picture
We, as believers and disciples of Jesus Christ and members of His Body here at Bethel Evangelical Lutheran Church and School, in response to His Commissions to make disciples of all peoples and in awareness of our unique, collective gifts, clearly see the mission before us to worship - to grow - to serve.

Bethel Lutheran School offers a Christian education for the whole child. Students in the school find identity, purpose, and power for their lives by living in God's grace and in the knowledge of Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord. The education is well rounded and provides spiritual instruction, intellectual achievement, social interaction, emotional development, physical education, and aesthetic experiences.


One of our most important blessings raising our children was Bethel Lutheran School. They are well-adjusted young adults now who know what is important.
We started at Bethel preschool with our first child and fell in love with the environment and teachers. Kindergarten at Bethel was a blessing and we were blown away by the dedication and love of the teachers. Both our sons now attend Bethel grade school, and we couldn't be happier. It was one of the best decisions we ever made!

We love the people! You can feel God's love.
Bethel has become a family to us! We love being here and knowing that our kids are receiving not only an excellent education, but are also being impacted spiritually. We thank God for Bethel!
