CREATING A GENERATION THAT INFLUENCES TODAY'S CULTURE.
Bethesda's Youth and Children's Ministry exists to foster hope in the next generation of the church. Our purpose is to call and equip them to follow Jesus Christ. We firmly believe that Youth and Children are not only the future of society, but of the church itself. We strive to develop young disciples by training them to impact the world around them.
NURSERY CHILDREN YOUTH
WE WANT YOUR CHILDREN TO LOVE CHURCH
That is why Bethesda is committed to creating a fun and safe environment where your children are taught about the Bible and Jesus through gospel-centered, age-appropriate curriculum and activities. We hope that through following Jesus we will see a generation of children come to know God at every age.
NURSERY: SIX MONTHS TO 3 YEARS
Our nursery program is staffed with loving volunteers. They use age-appropriate toys that are thouroughly cleaned each week. As our caring team holds your baby, they pray for them to know God, find freedom in Jesus, discover their heavenly purpose, and make a difference in their life.
PRE-K and KINDERGARTEN
In our preschool program, children begin learn biblical principles through age-appropriate activities like stories, crafts, media, and songs that reinforce Bible truths. They also learn to build meaningful relationships with other kids and teachers.
JUNIOR CHURCH: FIRST THROUGH FIFTH GRADE
Junior Church is designed to present the love of Jesus to elementary kids in a way that is both exciting and makes sense to them. Every week in our Youth and Children's Ministry building, they get to play games, worship, work on Bible verses, learn interesting lessons, and make friends to pray with. Take home lesson summaries and other items are available for the kids to take home and use throughout the week as a family.
ANCHORED YOUTH
Whether it's through student-led lessons, mid-week recharge, youth fellowship night, or just having fun, we know that we are better together.
Mid-Week Recharge is on Wednesday nights beginning at 7PM and ending at 8PM. Snacks, fellowship, and teaching is part of every Wednesday. Our mid-week program is a powerful tool to help students grow in their relationship with Jesus and other teens. This program takes place in the "Lighthouse" Youth Room.
Once a month, when possible, our youth group and their friends come together for a time of fun and fellowship at our Youth Fellowship Night. Whether it is games, movies, or music, our monthy gatherings are to help them grow with each other. Teens can bring their friends and introduce them to our youth group program.
OUR CULTURE IS IMPORTANT TO US
We strive to create a safe environment for middle-school, Junior High, and High School students. We desire to devolop, equip, and empower the youth of today to impact and influence their generation and the world they live in. We believe this generation will be thriving and leading in the church.
We want to thank each and every parent, grandparent, or other family members for checking out Anchored Youth! Our team of staff and volunteers want to serve your family by mentoring, leading, and assisting your student to take those important next steps in their journey with Jesus. This is a great place for your teens to find community, grow spiritually, and make a lasting impact.
SECURITY: YOUR CHILDREN ARE IMPORTANT TO US
All staff and volunteers in our classrooms has a current background check on file. Additionally, we have a trained security team on hand for every service and activity here at Bethesda. If this is your first visit with us, we will need some personal information from you and a volunteer will assist you. This information is entered into our database to help maintain a safe and secure environment for all children.
