BEULAH BAPTIST CHURCH DAY CARE CENTER

⸻ I grew up in this church under the leadership of Reverend Ruffin. My mother served faithfully here for many years—over 17 years of my life. She sang in the choir, she served in leadership, she prayed, she warred, and she showed up consistently. I watched her be a true prayer warrior and a woman committed to the Word, attending Bible study regularly and sowing into this church with her whole heart. When my mother passed away, I reached out to this church to hold her funeral here—and I never even received a return phone call. Let me be clear: this is no reflection of Reverend Ruffin. He has been gone for many years, and he was an incredible pastor who truly shepherded people. This speaks solely to the current leadership and administrative oversight. Unfortunately, the response—or lack thereof—revealed a disregard for souls who faithfully sowed into this ministry long before some of today’s leadership ever arrived. That experience left a very painful and lasting impression on me, and it is something I felt needed to be said. I truly wish you all the best. I will pray for this church. But more than anything, I pray that the heart of Christ—compassion, accountability, and care for His people—be restored and reflected in every part of its leadership.

Do not send your child here, my children attended this school for a very long time. It started out great, that was 5 years ago. This school offers nothing, They will constantly gossip about your children and they will also tell your personal information to anyone. They do not properly watch your children. The church is huge but the actual school is in the basement with about 50 kids.If you love your kid this is not the place for them. My daughter was attacked in the bathroom no supervision at all.

I visited the school to enrollment son. And honestly the staff was very friendly and I can tell this was a honest God loving atmosphere. However what really stood out was the children. They where very well mannered and respectful. Follow me for more reviews @cashaestar

I used to highly recommend this school in the past. But, lately I am appalled at this school, how my babies are treated & its administrators. We've enrolled children here in the last 8+ years from my family & friends. I am very familiar with this school. Education & Christian learning used to be EXCELLENT. NOT anymore!! The principal/teacher Barksdale is HORRIBLE! She has physically assaulted children, hit a child in her office with a ruler, hit children in their backs, yelled at children, have terrified children, and have offended so many good teachers, etc. Complaints have been registered with the proper authorities. Still the Board does NOTHING! When 2 or more witness ungodly behavior, according to the Word, of the living God, she is to be removed and sat down. She allows her personal & unChrist-like opinion to cloud & persuade her professional treatment of students. She constantly shows favoritism & biased treatment against kids because of how children's hair may be styled. She dislikes natural hairstyles and verbalized that to them, as well. How ludicrous is this for a supposed educator! It appears staff follows suit & support this ungodly woman. Agape love is what we must have for her, but wrong is wrong...period! There is an unhealthy clique within staff against the children they dislike & their parents. Although, they may see this woman through rose colored glasses, as someone who is a member of the church they worship with, they tend to overlook her errors/misjudgements/abusive behavior towards the children. She tends to overtalk people & refuses to humble herself and apologize when she wrongs people. She is very arrogant. She is a huge detriment to the success of this school. Teachers have resigned & parents have removed their children from this school because of her!Unfortunately years ago, parents have stated this, but until you experience it, you may not believe, as our family had to learn the hard way. You pay $300/yr for school books that your children NEVER receive, or is given USED books. Where does the money go?? 2021/2021- NO SCHOOL BOOKS WERE GIVEN, BUT MONEY WAS DEMANDED BEFORE YOUR CHILD COULD START THE SCHOOL YEAR! Each parent should be refunded their monies. Misappropriations of funds is what this school does with your hard earned money. This so-called Christian school has fallen below standards of religion & education. They allow the older kids to watch over the younger ones when there's no teacher available. Shouldn't they be in class learning? Private religious schools are not under the same rules as public schools, says the Dept of Education when contacted. The teachers here do not have to be certified, accredited or adhere to the same rules governed by city, state or government. Also, they do NOT do background checks on staff. They can literally do whatever they want here. This used to be a great school. Not anymore!! Do NOT send your kids here! BEWARE!! The Pastor & the Board of Directors need to govern this school much better, and evaluate why the decline of staff & students continue. Ask parents, students & the few honest teachers who remain(in private). How can you allow mistreatment and abuse to our babies that God blessed us with?? They have allowed Baal to take over, and cause abuse, dissension& ruckus in the house of the Lord! They have failed these young children greatly! Parents beware! Satan reigns here! Update 2022: Since COVID-19, attendance is low & every grade is combined with another. This school does NOT offer enough for the cost of tuition. Thwy are money hungry. Van service is horrible. I think there should be MORE emphasis on Christian Bible learning. Also, this school has STOPPED teaching "site words" in English. This helped tremendously with spelling & comprehension. This is a huge FAIL!! This school used to be 5 STARS. The principal should be sat down/removed, and promote the Vice Principal to that position.

Awesome place to Worship and Fellowship with your friends and family. Door greeters are friendly and polite. Their's always something going on at Beulah throughout the entire week. Learn more about Beulah Baptist Church by visiting there Website or by calling the Church during normal operating hours. The Senior Pastor is very down to earth. The entire Ministerial Staff is about God's Business. Great Deacon staff as well. Men's fellowship and Bible study every Sunday morning before Sunday Worship Service. Thank you for taking the time to read this review. I'm well pleased to say.
