Kids

At Bethel Kids, our mission is to share the gospel with every child and help them grow in a relationship with Jesus through meaningful connection with leaders and peers.

• Infants are gently cared for in a peaceful, nurturing space by trusted leaders who reflect the love of Christ through their care.
• Toddlers–Kindergarten experience the gospel through worship, Bible stories, interactive activities, and play—all designed to help them begin building a foundation of faith and relationships.
•  Grades 1-4 gather for large group worship and gospel teaching, then move to grade-level classrooms for deeper learning through Scripture memory, hands-on activities, and small group conversation with caring leaders.
• Grade 5 meets in their own space to study God’s Word, ask questions, and grow in their faith through honest conversation and trusted relationships.

Check-In: Plan to arrive 10–15 minutes early at our Family Check-In. A Kids Ministry volunteer will get you set up and walk with you to your child’s room. You and your child(ren) will receive matching security tags to ensure a safe and secure pick-up.

If your child needs you during the service, we’ll text you. Please keep your phone on vibrate and nearby.

Time: Wednesdays, 6:15 – 8 PM (September–May)

Ages: Kindergarten – 5th Grade

Preschool Programming (Infant-Kindergarten): Available for Infants–PreK whose parents are volunteering in WBK/Middle School Ministry or attending a Wednesday night class on campus. Space is limited.

Note: Kindergarten follows the same schedule as PreK but does not have limited space.

What to Expect in WBK:

• One Gospel-Centered Bible Truth each month
• Monthly Memory Verse (with 3 optional bonus verses)
• Engaging Large Group Teaching & Worship
• Relational Small Groups for discussion and discipleship
• Fun, Purposeful Games

What is Parent/Child Dedication?

Parent/Child Dedication is a commitment to raise your child in a Gospel-centered home while taking the lead role in your child’s discipleship. This dedication is not a statement of salvation for your child, but rather a statement of how you will raise your child.

While not a command of Scripture, parent/child dedication can be a beautiful symbol. It should be done with a community of believers who know you personally and can commit to walking with you in this commitment. This is why we, at Bethel participate with you. As you acknowledge your responsibility to raise your child(ren) in a Gospel-centered home taking an active role in your child’s discipleship, we as your church family, are making a similar commitment to you, the parent(s), to come alongside you and help you in this discipleship journey.

I want to Dedicate my child(ren).

Great! We are excited that you wish to dedicate your child to the Lord! We look forward to walking alongside you in your parenting journey! You’ll need to attend our 30-minute Parent/Child Dedication class, which is offered the Sunday before dedication dates. It’s a great way to get to know our staff, learn about dedication, and prepare for the ceremony. Your child(ren) are welcome to attend the class with you.

Children must be registered BEFORE attending the Child dedication class. This helps us know how many families to expect in the class.
