children in worship
“Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.” Matthew 19:14
We welcome small children. Families are encouraged to commune
together where children will receive a blessing. A quiet room is located
in back of the sanctuary should
your little ones become restless and can be used anytime during the service.

Join us for a Tropical Trek where we will learn how Jesus came to seek and save the lost (Luke 19:10)! As we traverse fun and exciting places, like a dormant volcano and island caves, we’ll discover how God finds us and helps us in every challenge we face.
Registration will be available soon!

Point of contact: Pastor Priem
Guiding Star Preschool is an outreach ministry of Bethlehem Lutheran Church. We offer strength and support to parents in the responsibility and privilege of raising their children in a caring, Christ-centered atmosphere.
A child’s growth is a sequential and orderly process and the nurturing of children’s spiritual, intellectual, emotional, social, and physical needs is the foundation of Guiding Star Preschool. We offer daily, half-day, and full-time preschool programs Monday-Friday for ages 3-5 years.
Children are encouraged in their faith through daily devotion, chapel time, Bible stories, songs, and application of Christian living throughout their day.
For more information, request an enrollment packet, or to schedule a tour, contact the Preschool Office at 816-322-3444.
