STUDENT MINISTRY AT BETHEL CHURCH

Cultivating a community for students to love God, love others, and serve the world.

Our middle school ministry meets weekly on Wednesday nights during the Fall and Spring school semesters. Come through the northwest doors of our campus and head into the gym to your right to find all the fun! Hard to miss. Doors open @ 5:45pm and we end our time @ 7:45pm. Often the teens want to have more time to hangout so feel free to come snag them!

Join us every week as we spend time in worship, hear a message, and study the Bible in our life groups. We meet every Sunday from 4 pm-6:30 pm in the Gym & Room 120.

Who: 6th-12th Grade
When: 3 pm-6 pm, every Tuesday and Thursday
Where: NextGen Office

Come hangout with us. Play games (we have a ton of options), relax, ask us questions, and have some fun.

 


 

 


 

 


 

Our Student Leadership Program is for students who want to grow in leadership by learning practical communication and leadership skills and using them to plan and lead an event. They will also have the opportunity to help in other ways throughout the year with Student Ministries depending on their personal skills and areas they want to grow. We will meet starting October 15 for anyone accepted into the program based on their application. The program will meet every Sunday evening after High School Ministry from 6:30-7:30 pm.

Application is Closed

Dance Ministry is for anyone who has the passion for dance and would like to use it to glorify the Lord through student ministry.

What is a discord server?

A discord server is a collection of text and voice chats that is protected by an invite link, making each server specific to a community.

Specifically, our discord server is built for our students, parents, and leaders to engage together. You can talk with others through text or voice, play games, answer a daily question, ask for prayer requests, and more.

May

We are mixing things up in May due to the school year coming to a close and us wanting to help our students focus on God and have a bit of fun before we go fully into our summer plans. With that, some changes are coming to when wand what we are doing with Middle School and High School Ministry.

What We Are Doing:
When you arrive at Bethel, you can enter through the north doors and head into the gym and room 120 where we will be spending time in worship and guided prayer before competing against each other as life groups all month in our first ever Life Group Games! There will not be any meal at either Middle School or High School Ministry.

When We Are Meeting:
Middle School Ministry will meet on Wednesdays from 6-8pm in Room 120 and the Gym.

High School Ministry will meet on Sundays from 6-8pm in Room 120 and the Gym

 


June-August

We want our summer to feel distinct from the rest of the school year, which is why we switch it up by doing a Bible Study and a different fun activity every week and moving off site certain weeks. If you are not receiving our weekly emails (let us know if you are not by emailing students@bethelfc.com) or following us on Facebook or Instagram, those are going to be where we announce where we are going to be each week.

What We Are Doing:
We will have a 1.5 hour Bible study and then will follow it up with a 1.5 hour fun activity together. These activities can range from color wars, slip n’ slide kickball, a couch fire, and so much more! (Please note that there will not be a meal served at either Middle School or High School Ministry).

When We Are Doing It:
Unless otherwise noted, Middle School Ministry will meet every Wednesday from 6:30pm-9:30pm starting June 19, 2024.
Unless otherwise noted, High School Ministry will meet every Tuesday from 6:30pm-9:30pm starting June 18, 2024.
