Spiritual Life
“…for I know that plans I have for you, says the Lord…” Jeremiah 29:11
How much simpler life would be if we knew the map our lives were supposed to follow. But instead we must pay careful attention to the gifts the Lord has given us to determine His goal for our lives.
At Bethlehem Beginnings Early Learning Center we believe that all children were created with special and unique gifts and our mission is to go above and beyond the norms of education to help children reach their God-given potential. Our Lutheran Christian education goes above and beyond to inspire students to greatness, allowing Christ in the classroom, the science lab, the athletic field, the lunchroom and the hearts of our students.
How are students taught about Christ?
- Weekly chapel services led by Pastors, Teachers, and students
- Bible stories and truths taught at every level, every day, in every classroom
- Daily prayer in the classrooms led by teachers and students
- Teachers presenting each academic class from a Christian perspective
- Community service projects and service collections to showcase Christ’s love to the world

The Early Learning Center (ELC) is a part of Bethlehem's Day School building which has 18 individual classrooms, gymnasium, computer and science labs, library, auxiliary gym, choir/music rooms, cafeteria, two playgrounds, before and after school area (Childwatch), and the sports field. In 2008, we remodeled four classrooms to best serve 3, 4, and 5 year olds.
