Children
The mission of Bethesda's Children's Ministries is to glorify God as we support the family in the teaching of His Word to all children who come to Bethesda; that they may know Jesus as their Savior and follow Him as devoted disciples.
Children's Ministry at Bethesda has a place for your child! We offer many programs and opportunities for your children to have fun and build relationships all while learning from God's Word. Your children will be loved and cared for by adults and youth who have a passion for kids and for Christ in a safe and secure environment.
We affirm that you, the parents, are ultimately responsible for the spiritual formation of your children's lives. We want to help support you in this responsibility by providing an excellent and dynamic children's program for birth through 5th grade. We want your children to be able to learn the life-guiding principles of the Bible in a fun, caring and safe environment. We also endeavor to provide ongoing resources and training for you as parents. Following are some websites that you may find helpful.
