Beautiful Savior Lutheran Church & Meadowlark Early Learning Academy

Beautiful Savior Lutheran Church has undergone renovations that reflect its mission: to meet Jesus, make friends, and make a difference. These updates help bring that mission to life by creating spaces that support fellowship, worship, and growth for every age and stage of life. Each redesigned area invites members and visitors alike into deeper relationships and a shared journey toward lifelong transformation in Christ.

A Warm Welcome: Updated Lobby, Coffee Bar, and Community Spaces

The renewed church lobby now sets the tone for connection and community. A new coffee bar offers a natural gathering spot where friendships can form and conversations flow, while the refreshed Fireside Room encourages moments of warmth, reflection, and belonging. These revitalized spaces were designed with purpose: to foster genuine relationships, build community, and create opportunities to live out the church’s mission in everyday ways.

Growing in Faith: Meadowlark Early Learning Academy

Beautiful Savior’s youngest learners benefit from a newly expanded space at Meadowlark Early Learning Academy—an early childhood center designed to reflect and support the school’s mission of nurturing faith, curiosity, and growth in every child. The updated facility features educational areas, playful design elements, and interactive tools that invite in exploration and development in a Christ-centered setting.

At the heart of the academy is an indoor play area, anchored by an interactive wall and a large screen where children gather to learn, play, and praise together, laying a strong foundation for a lifelong journey of faith and learning. These elements are more than just fun, they’re essential to how young children grow. Play provides opportunities to practice social skills like sharing, taking turns, and cooperating, while also helping children navigate and manage emotions. This prepares them not only for kindergarten, but for life within a community.

Aligned with their natural developmental stages, the academy’s play-based approach encourages hands-on, experiential learning. Lessons are delivered in shorter, more frequent sessions, and each classroom follows a daily schedule, creating a rhythm that helps children understand when it’s time to focus and when it’s time to play. This balance of structure and discovery supports the academy’s mission to provide a loving, engaging environment where every child can thrive academically, socially, and spiritually.
