Children are free to live fully
when they know they are created by
and loved unconditionally by God through Jesus.

We aim to bridge the kids’ church, school and home lives with Biblical teachings and a hands-on approach to living out God’s promises that “with God all things are possible” (Matthew 19:26), and He “works all things together for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose” (Rom 8:28).

By allowing God to be Lord over our lives, rather than an activity we check off on Sundays or Wednesdays, we unleash His limitless power do amazing things in and through our lives.

Bethel Children & Youth Ministries Mission Statement
To help our children/youth Be the Light of Christ in the church and the world we will:
  • Help our children/youth find their place in the church and in our world by providing connections with other youth, children, and adults of faith;
  • Involve our children/youth in the life of the church through worship, evangelism, learning, fellowship, and service as a path toward discipleship;
  • Provide experiences that will allow them to develop and explore their faith so, as they move into adulthood, they will have a faith that will go with them and grow with them;
  • Equip and empower parents as partners on the journey of faith development for their children
Our Children's Ministry programs are led by Brenda Atzinger. For more information click here, to register please click here or contact Brenda with questions or to become involved!
