Dear Bethel Life School family:
The course of the last year has brought many transitions to our school and the church. This past weekend, the pastoral staff and I joined Dr. Ron McManus for a visioning and leadership retreat. We have come away excited about what we believe God has for this church and the school.
As part of that retreat, we identified several core values of Bethel Life Center. Those include the church’s Christian school system, an emphasis on family and children, a commitment to missions, Biblical preaching with integrity and the worship arts. We intend to expand and build upon that foundation.
As a pastoral team, we have committed together to bring each of these areas to new standards of excellence while expanding what God wants us to do in areas of discipleship, mentoring, and evangelism. It is our sincere belief that God has called each one of us, from parents to young students to engage in age appropriate gift oriented ministry.
I am so excited about the future of Bethel Life, that I wanted you to share in the dreams and the vision. I am enclosing several CD’s of the last two Sunday sermons that Pastor Ron has preached. These messages have stirred the hearts of our congregation and should encourage yours too.
If you want to continue to help shape the next decade of growth for Bethel Life School, please feel free to attend the next Visioning and Values meeting scheduled on Tuesday, February 1st at 6:30 PM.
