About the church
What We Believe and How We Gather
Brightwater Church has served this town for more than sixty years. Our school began in 1994, when parents in the congregation asked for a place where faith and learning could grow together.
God Made Every Child
Each child is known and loved by God, and has gifts worth discovering.
Scripture Guides Us
The Bible shapes what we teach at church and in the classroom.
Grace First
We teach and correct with patience, because we have been shown patience.
