Children’s Ministries

Our Children’s Ministry focuses on meeting the needs of our children during the morning worship service and special events throughout the year.   Holiday celebrations, educational programs and mission opportunities concentrate on helping our children become disciples of Christ.

 

Kids Korner - During the 11:00 am worship service, children ages three years old through 1st grade are encouraged to attend Kid’s Korner for a special Bible lesson and related activities.  Nursery Care is also provided during the 11:00am Sunday Service.  2nd graders are invited to stay in the Sanctuary during the service.  “Quite Bags” filled with games and art materials are available from the ushers.

 

Sunday School - Children of all ages, preschool through high school, meet on Sunday mornings at 9:45 am for a “rotation” Sunday school lesson.  Based on a Bible verse and story, lessons include art, music, cooking, drama and science; each highlighting the Biblical message in a special way.

 

Vacation Bible School - Every summer, children throughout the community join us for a week-long Bible School with a special Biblical theme, crafts, food, fun and singing.  It’s always a delightful time, enjoyed by students and teachers alike.  VBS is traditionally held the third week of July.

 

Preschool - Bethlehem’s Preschool was established in 1984 as an outreach ministry under Christian Education.  Children are encouraged to develop spiritually, physically, socially, mentally and emotionally while gaining readiness for public school.  Four year olds meet three days per week; three years olds meet two days per week, September through May.
