CHILDREN’S MINISTRY
Jesus said to them, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.” Mark 10:14
CHILDREN AND WORSHIP
Children, ages 3 years old through 1st grade, are dismissed during the worship service to participate in their own worship time. This is a structured class that is led by volunteers from our congregation. It is not a play time, but a time for truly worshiping God through a story, song, and fellowship with friends.
Class is offered from September through May.
Sunday School
Our mission is to guide kids to put their faith in Jesus, to teach them who God is, and how He wants them to live. Class is on Sunday mornings from 11:00-11:45a.m. during the months of September-May. The curriculum Bethany uses, and the classroom environment, is designed specifically for kids PreK-5th grade. Our time includes Biblical teaching and activities. Bring your child to a class this week!
