Children's Ministry
(Grades K-5)Children’s Ministries (K-5th Grade) – Jesus said, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not hinder them! For the kingdom of heaven” belongs to such as these. At Bethlehem, we believe our children offer us a glimpse of God’s love on earth, and we empower them to make a difference in the world around them, serving God in their own lives. Our KidQuest and Launch mid-week Bible Study ministry, weekly Sunday School classes, Stepping Stones milestone classes, and Vacation Bible School allow children to learn about God’s love while feeling a part of a special community and making lasting friendships. Fellowship opportunities bring families together throughout the year! For additional information on the programs below, please contact Pastor Paisley: pastor_paisley@bethlehemluth.org.
Vacation Bible School 2021
Children who have completed 3-year-old preschool and above are able to join our Vacation Bible School (VBS) each summer. During this program, participating children learn about God’s amazing power and unconditional love, all while make new friend and memories that will last a lifetime! VBS provides music, Bible study, crafts, games, science, and snacks each day, with lots of opportunities for our littlest disciples to learn and grow!

Bethlehem offers Sunday School at 9:30am each Sunday morning, with classes for children 2 years old through 5th Grade. Quality background-checked teachers and small classes make this an excellent environment for growing in God’s love.
