Schools & Childcare


Redding is a great place for growing families and there are many choices for schooling and childcare.  As BSSM does not provide childcare we have listed some options below to help in the transition to Redding.

Bethel Christian School (BCS)

Bethel Christian School (pre-school to 8th grade) aims to partner with parents to develop the whole student; mind, body and spirit through academic training interwoven with Biblical teaching, ministry and worship. Students will be challenged by high academic standards as they learn who they are in Christ based on what God’s Word says about them. They are equipped to fulfill their destiny by experiencing God’s presence, learning of His character, and sharing His love.
