Here at Bethlehem, we firmly believe that our family of faith continually grows and is
strengthened by involvement in one or more of the diverse opportunities available to us. If you are interested, need more
information or are curious about other ministries, please feel free to contact the church office or the ministry directly.
Stephen Ministry:
is God caring for people through people. In times of difficult life changes, caring Stephen Ministers are
available to listen, to share God's love, to pray with or for you.

to our faith and our church and is promoted through prevention, educational programs, and individual care and counseling.

in our world and is coordinated by Diane Nichols. We inform our community of opportunities to experience and learn more about

Full-day Preschool / Childcare:
is an accredited preschool that serves families of children
ages 2 ~ 5. Our center is open from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM and families use the hours that fit their needs. The program is
designed to meet the children's academic, social and emotional needs, giving them the tools to succeed. Spaces in the
program are filled from a wait list. Tours are given twice monthly so please call to arrange a time.
Part-Day Preschool Program:
is a comprehensive pre-school program offering services to children ages 3 ~ 5. Our school offers a balanced
program with opportunity for your child to grow as an individual in all areas of development. The first steps away from home
are made comfortable with caring adults who are trained to meet your child's needs in a safe, healthy environment.
