Chapel​

At Bethany Lutheran School, students gather weekly for Chapel, led by our dedicated Pastor Wrede, who brings messages of faith, love, and community. These chapel sessions provide students with a time for reflection, worship, and spiritual growth in a welcoming environment. Occasionally, our teachers take over and lead Chapel during special "Chapel Takeover" sessions, which families are warmly invited to attend. This is a wonderful opportunity for students, teachers, and families alike to come together, share in faith, and strengthen our community bonds.

"Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, and in purity."
1 Timothy 4:12
