We journey with God, to serve with love

Children's Ministry

Here at BLC we take seriously our call to nurture our children in faith.  We love having children in worship and we enjoy watching them learn the songs, prayers, and scripture that are at the heart of our faith in Jesus Christ.  We offer many opportunities for children to learn and grow in their faith.

Look at those happy faces!

Sacraments

Baptism

Baptism is a sign and seal of God's grace that we receive once in our lifetime.  Lutherans recognize all forms of Christian baptism.  Upon baptizing an infant or a child, the church community promises to teach that child the faith and to nurture them throughout their lives.  If you are interested in having your child baptized, please contact Pastor Paul at (213) 947-9880 or paul.busekist@bethlehemtc.org

First Communion

First Communion classes are offered for Children who have not yet received the sacrament.  For more information on upcoming classes, please contact Pastor Paul at (231) 947-9880 or paul.busekist@bethlehemtc.org

During the education hour, from 9:15-10am, kids from preK-6th grade are invited to join us for Sunday School.
