Wow… 65 years!

Celebrate with us this Fall!

65 YEARS. ❤️

In October 1961, Hillside Bethel Ministries began with a calling, a handful of people, and faith in what God could do.

Sixty-five years later, we’re still here.

Still worshiping.
Still praying.
Still teaching.
Still serving.
Still reaching people with the hope of Jesus Christ.

A lot has changed in 65 years. Buildings have changed. Faces have changed. Generations have come and gone.

But the mission continues.

We are incredibly grateful for every person who has been part of the Hillside story—and even more excited about what God has yet to do.

Honoring the past. Serving the present. Building the future.

Join us this Fall as we celebrate with special services and activities on Sunday, October 4 and as we host the Bethel Ministerial Association Fall Conference October 5-8.

Here’s to 65 years of ministry—and to the generations still to come!

🍎 THERE’S STILL ROOM IN K-PREP!

The classrooms are ready. The teachers are ready. And the school year is underway at Hillside Bethel Christian School!

We still have some openings in our K-Prep 3 & 4 program, and we would love to welcome a few more little learners to our HBCS family!

K-Prep is more than getting ready for kindergarten. It’s a place for children to learn, grow, play, make friends, build confidence—and discover that they are a special part of God’s plan. ❤️

If you have a 3- or 4-year-old—or know a family looking for a caring, Christ-centered place for their child—there is still time to join us for the 2026–27 school year!

And here’s one of the best ways you can help us: SHARE THIS POST! You may know the family who has been looking for exactly what HBCS has to offer.

Today was our first Chapel of the new school year! 🙌

We began a brand-new journey through The Tabernacle in the Wilderness, starting with “The Blueprint.”

Using actual blueprints from our church building and a Bible Bricks Tabernacle, our students learned that when God instructed Moses to build the Tabernacle, He gave him a specific pattern to follow.

“And let them make Me a sanctuary, that I may dwell among them.” — Exodus 25:8

God had a plan. His plan mattered. And God desired to dwell with His people.

Throughout this school year, we’ll journey through the Tabernacle together—starting at the Gate and discovering what each part teaches us about God and how it ultimately points us to Jesus.

What a great way to begin our year together! ❤️

🎥 Here’s a little glimpse from our first Chapel!

🏫 OPEN HOUSE / ORIENTATION TONIGHT AT HBCS! 🎉

The classrooms are ready. The halls are ready. Our teachers are ready. Now we’re just missing a few students! ❤️

School starts MONDAY, and we still have openings available for the 2026–2027 school year!

We want to maximize every space we have and give as many students as possible the opportunity to experience Christian education at Hillside Bethel Christian School.

And here’s where you can help!

Do you know a family looking for a school? Refer a new student to HBCS, and you can receive a financial incentive when they enroll! Help us spread the word, fill those remaining spaces, and introduce another family to HBCS.

Come see us TONIGHT at Open House! Tour the classrooms, meet our staff, ask questions, and see what makes HBCS special.

School starts Monday—but there’s still room!

🧩 Every student is a piece of God’s plan. Maybe you know the piece we’re still looking for.
