"Blessed
are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children
of God" - Matthew 5:9
Outgrowth
of Faith
Peace
and service go hand-in-hand at Bethany Christian Schools
- the way of the cross rather than power and control.
Bethany proclaims the gospel of peace, not because it
is a Mennonite tradition, but because it is consistent
with following Christ in all areas of life.
Agents
of Reconciliation
Bethany
Christian Schools recognize that peace is first nurtured
by a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. From that
beginning point, students learn that God calls all people
to agents of reconciliation, whether in school or as
members of the global community. Students at Bethany
have opportunities to interact with service workers
both locally and internationally.
Messengers
of Peace
The
Peace Society is an organized avenue for students with
special interest in discussions about peace and activities
promoting peace.
Serving
the Community
Many
students volunteer their time regualry in peer tutoring,
local health organizations,and other service agencies.
A schoolwide day of service at local nonprofit agencies,
class and co-curricular projects, and Senior Serviceterm
provide students with opportunities to experience the
challenges and joys of serving others.
