Bethel has several ministries designed for children of all ages, from pre-school through elementary. If you would like to receive more information or have your child participate in one of these ministries, please get in touch with us using the communication form on the “Contact Us” page.
Bethel's Nursery provides loving childcare for infants and toddlers from birth to two years old during the morning and evening worship services. It is our desire to have a place where responsible parent volunteers can create a safe atmosphere of love and laughter for young children, so they may experience the love of Christ as they play and interact.
With a safe, loving and fun environment for children to go, their parents can participate in the Church services without concern for them. We also want to ensure that children’s church times are happy times and provide a foundation for their faith.
Bethel's Nursery runs year-round during the AM and PM worship services.
The Bethel Sunday School ministry is designed to teach children the stories of the Bible and help them learn the truths that it contains. Our goal is that the children who attend the Sunday School program will feel loved and valued as a member of God's family who can learn and interact in an exciting, innovative and inspiring environment.
Teenagers are also encouraged to help with the Sunday School program by serving as a teacher's aide or to help with the children's singing.
Who can take part in Sunday School? There are four classes, one for those aged 4 to 5 years and one each for those in grades 1 to 2, 3 to 4, and 5 to 6.
When is Sunday School held? This program follows the AM worship service and runs from September to May.
What Is Kingdom Seekers? Kingdom Seekers is a Christian club for girls aged 9 through 13 (though not exclusively those ages). In this club, girls learn the Bible through interesting studies, various activities and crafts. On our regular Monday meetings, we start off with God’s word and our theme motto and verses. We sing and share prayers requests and then spend time doing devotions and Bible study. We use the last part of the night to do badge work or a craft and always try to fit in a game or two.
The Goals of Kingdom Seekers! To provide a Church organized program to involve young covenant girls in interactive learning focused on Bible knowledge. This program is based in Reformed doctrine as outlined in the Three Forms of Unity (Heidelberg Catechism, Belgic Confession, Canons of Dort) and application thereof, as well as in other life skills, which prepare them for service in God's Kingdom.
“I seek you with all my heart, do not let me stray from Your commands. I have hidden your Word in my heart that I might not sin against You.” Psalm 119:10-11
When is Kingdom Seekers held? Kingdom Seekers meets every other Monday at the church from 7:00 to 8:30 pm during the months of September to May.
What is Cadets? Cadets is a program of Bethel United Reformed church designed for boys between the ages of 9 to 13. The basis of the Cadet program is the Word of God (the Bible) according to the concept of the same as expressed in the Heidelberg Catechism, the Canons of Dort and the Belgic Confession.
Get ready to have fun and grow in your faith! When Bethel's Cadet club meets, the group engages in many exciting and rewarding activities such as participating in Bible study, crafts, projects, games, and merit badge achievement programs that explores a boy’s specific interest areas. Outside of the club meetings the members participate in church and community service projects, camping, and other outdoor adventures and extracurricular opportunities.
God is Revealed in Nature! The cadetting ministry encourages experiencing the presence of the Lord in His glorious creation. Learning the skills of an outdoorsman builds a boy’s character and developing a boy’s understanding of his place in God’s world helps him to be a faithful steward.
Men as God’s Servants! Cadets is a ministry of men of God who are dedicated to bring boys into a living relationship with their Lord and Savior. These men, understanding their imperfection, hold on to the promise that the Lord will bless their prayers, their example, and their instruction if they rely on God’s strength.
When Is Cadets Held? On alternate Monday evenings from 7:00 pm to 8:30 pm during the months of September to May.
