WELCOME TO BETHANY KIDS MINISTRY!
WHO WE ARE
Bethany Kids Ministry partners with parents to help children from birth through 5th grade grow in understanding who God is and what He has done through Jesus. We believe that introducing children to the Bible -God's Big Story - is one of the great joys and privileges of the local church. While God has entrusted parents with the primary responsibility of teaching their children about Christ, we believe the church is called to come alongside families to encourage, equip, and support what's being taught at home.
HOW TO GET INVOLVED
SUNDAY CLASSES | 10:30 AM
Join us at 10 AM for free coffee and donuts and check in your children, followed by our Worship Service at 10:30 AM. Families join the main service in the Worship Center for opening music and welcome. After the final song – right before the sermon (around 10:45 AM) – students will meet our kids ministry leaders outside the Worship Center and walk together to The Commons for a Bible-driven, God-focused, and Christ-centered lesson and time of fellowship.
Children's check-in begins at 10:15 AM at the Kids Check-In Station.
• Infants - 3 years: Nursery Room C105
• Pre-K - Kindergarten: Room C101 (The Commons)
• 1st - 5th, Room C103 (The Commons)
We also have a Parent & Infant Room in the back right corner of the Worship Center if you’d prefer to keep your child with you.
Pick-Up: After the service, pick up your child from their designated classrooms using the matching security code you received at check-in. If service runs longer you may find your children on the preschool playground. Turn your tag in to the leader when picking up your child.
SUNDAY MORNINGS | 10:30 AM
NURSERY (Birth - 3 YEARS)
Our youngest children are cared for in a safe and loving environment where they begin learning the simplest truths of faith: God made me, God loves me, Jesus loves children, and God cares for me. Our nursery workers pray over the kids, sing with them, and share Bible storybooks and songs that remind them of God’s love.
Pre-K & KINDERGARTEN
Preschoolers start to connect Bible stories with everyday life. They hear that God made everything, His Word is true, Jesus is God’s Son, and we can talk to Him anytime. Through songs with motions, simple crafts or activities, and short memory verses, children begin to see that God’s love is real and that they can share it with others.
ELEMENTARY (1st - 5TH)
Kids dive deeper into the Bible and discover what it means to follow Jesus. They learn that God is holy and good, Jesus is Savior and King, and we can trust Him with our lives. They also discover that the Church is a family where we love and serve one another. Through worship, discussion time, and practical lessons from Scripture, kids are encouraged to grow in their faith and put it into practice.
CURRICULUM
Each age-specific class uses the GO curriculum, providing Bible-driven, God-focused, and Christ-centered teaching in an accessible way for the children to engage with. We teach lessons from Scripture that introduce children to biblical stories, concepts, and doctrine. Our hope is that every child will know the truth of God's Word, experience the love of Christ, and develop a strong relationship with their Savior and one another.
