Children's Ministry

Our Goal in the Children’s Ministry is to develop mature and energetic followers of Christ whereby they will be a transforming influence in the world for Christ. 

At Bethesda Church, caring teachers present Biblical Truths and principles in age-appropriate lessons. Through Christ-centered caring and loving environment, children learn to apply Biblical teachings to their everyday lives. 

Bethesda Church affirms the home as the center of biblical guidance. Parents are the most important people in a child’s life, and learning about God starts in the home. Teaching children about God is a seven-day-a-week effort, not something that is done just an hour or two on Sunday morning. We pledge to do our best to support parents in their child’s spiritual education, and stand ready to help them at any time. 

At Bethesda , we partner with you to develop this foundation –from Sunday morning programs, Wednesday evening AWANA clubs and Vacation Bible School, we have created a safe, loving environment to nurture the spiritual growth in each child. 

Sunday Programs

Sunday programs encourage children to learn God’s truths through faith and help them understand how to apply these truths in their life by providing meaningful activities, great discussions, and personal challenges.
