I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth. 3 John 4
Bethlehem Lutheran Church and School seeks to care for the whole child, especially uplifting each student's spiritual development. However, God created the family unit as the first and most important haven for faith teaching and maturation. The following resources are included to help you incorporate worship, faith instruction, and devotional practices in your home.

Grace Lutheran in Lafayette, IN has pieced together a resource page on their church website. Grace's intent is much the same- to equip parents as the primary faith shapers of their children. "Therefore, the primary purpose of these links is to provide you with the various resources that can assist you, regardless of the denominational content. So while our finer points in theology may not always align with these providers, the usefulness of these resources is what is important to us!"
Personal Spiritual Food
As a nurturer of the faith, feeding your own spiritual growth is important!
These devotional videos are engaging and relevant discussions of topics faced by Christians in today's society. The pastors are articulate, relatable, and always bring us back to Jesus.

If you do not have a church home (and even if you do), you are warmly invited to worship with us at Bethlehem. We are a family who worships and grows together, fed by the Word of Christ! If you want someone to sit by, look for me at the 8:00 service!
