SUMMER

Summer High School Bible Study
Thursdays, 6:30–8:30 pm, at the Jackson home
June 5 – August 14

We gather during the summer to Love God, Love Others, and Serve the World through Bible studies, service days, missions trips, and camps. Our goal is to pour into students throughout the year, including the summer months.

During the summer, we want to build Biblical literacy in our students, familiarizing them with different parts of the Bible, helping them learn to study the Bible for themselves, and to apply what they study in their daily lives. This summer, we are reading the first ten chapters of Deuteronomy, studying one chapter each week. Each week, we will read through the entire chapter, help students understand sections they have questions about, and dive deeper into a specific section of each chapter together! We hope you will join us!

SEPTEMBER – APRIL

High School Ministry
Sundays, 4–7 pm, Bethel Gym

Our high school ministry (9-12th grade) meets weekly on Sunday nights during the Fall and Spring school semesters (September – April) from 4-7 pm @ Bethel.

When you arrive at the Northwest doors of our campus, head into the gym to your right to find all the fun! It’s hard to miss.

Doors open at 3:45 pm, we end at 7:00 pm.

We meet on Sunday’s to cultivate community and disciple-making. We want to help every teenager in our church understand how they can Love God, Love Others, and Serve the World. This is why we love spending time weekly with your amazing students!

We have electronic check-in for every student, ensuring their safety and our ability to contact you if necessary. Each student receives a printed name tag, and we have all parent information on hand.

We start with a variety of activities, followed by Gospel-centered teaching. We encourage every teen to bring a bible, notebook, and water bottle. We then have about an hour in Life Groups, where students can discuss the truth that was just taught. Our dedicated life group leaders show up weekly to guide and support the same group of students.

We encourage parents to get to know our Life Group leaders and ask their students what they are learning and who they are getting to know. We understand how important parenting is and want to encourage you in any way we can as you raise your teens to love and obey Jesus.

High School Bible Study
Wednesdays, 8:30-9:30 pm, Room 120, Bethel Fargo

Our High School Bible Study (9-12th grade) meets weekly on Wednesday nights during the Fall and Spring school semesters (September – April) from 8:30-9:30 pm in Room 120 @ Bethel.

Our Wednesday Night High School Bible Study is for those students who want to go deeper into Scripture, learning and growing in their knowledge of God, Scripture, the church, and what it means to live out the Christian life to magnify the name of Christ. We seek to study Scripture in a way that allows for us to embody 2 Timothy 3:16-17, being taught, rebuked, corrected, and trained in righteousness.

Each month this summer, we have planned a fun event for all Middle School and High School Students (Students entering 6th Grade in Fall – Recent Graduates)!

Student Ministry Color War
Friday, June 20, 6:30-8:30 PM
4117 Carmell Pl, West Fargo, ND 58078

Our first summer event is our Color War, where we will play a series of games using colorful powder! Make sure to bring a white t-shirt, eye protection/sunglasses, a water bottle, and some friends to have an awesome time at this event!

Some of you probably have questions about the color powder. First off, safety wise, the color powder we are using is made with high quality cornstarch, dyes, and baking soda. All dyes are 100% FD&C and/or D&C approved. It is gluten free and does not contain dairy, nuts, wheat, soy or other common allergens (however, you should not eat it).

Second, does the powder stain? The color powder washes out of most clothing. However, it can stain some materials. 100% cotton clothing is recommended and typical machine washing with stain remover, removes the stains. We recommend removing excess powder from clothing before washing and/or applying water.

Third, what if I want to keep the color in my shirt? I would wear a white t-shirt and follow the directions here after the night is over.

If you have other questions, read this page about Color Powder Safety and Clean-Up, or email students@bethelfc.com.

Student Ministry Water Day

You’ll have an hour to build your boats, materials are provided! Bring a swimsuit or clothes that can get wet, a towel, and a water bottle. For more information, email www.bethelfc.com/students.

Soccer Camp Serving Opportunity
July 10–12
Students are invited to serve at our local sports camp this summer!

Middle School Camp 
August 4-8
Grades 6-8

Passion Conference, Arlington, TX
December 31 – January 4, 2026
(Conference is January 1-3)
Ages 18-25

One of the reasons we have Middle School and High School separate is to give our High School students an opportunity to serve with our Middle School students. We have a variety of ways for our students to do that. Part of our heart behind this rhythm is to make sure that our students are having the opportunity to disciple others before they graduate. We have them join alongside adult leaders to learn how to disciple others to love God, love others, and serve the world throughout their whole life.
