At Bethany, we have many ways for children and families to develop their relationship with Christ and share His love with others. For more information on any of our Children's & Family Ministries, contact Jennifer George or Susan Ricker.
Vacation Bible School
Vacation Bible School is held each summer. Our 2013 VBS will be held June 24-28.
Sunday School: 9:30- 10:30 a.m. (September through May)
Sunday School is a vital part of growing in faith. We offer grade appropriate learning that allows the Bible to be fun, engaging and makes kinds want to dive in to the Word! Each lesson incorporates all types of learning styles, so we can b e sure that each child is reached. Each of our teachers are trained, Safe Sanctuary certified, and most important, have a servant's heart for children. Our curriculum has each grade learning the same Bible story, and each child is sent home with a Family page based on that story, so they can keep the lesson going throughout the week, as well as learn and explore God's word and develop their faith as a family.
