Director: Pam Overton and Pearl Duncan
Children's Ministry is a priority at Bethesda. In Matthew 19:14 Jesus said "Let the little children come to me, do not hinder them, for the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to such as these."
On Sunday Mornings.........
There is a Nursery for newborn to 3 years old during Bible Study and Worship times.
At 9:30 am there are multiple Bible Study groups for all children.
At 10:40 am the children join the Worship Service and participate in Praise and Worship time. Then, before the weekly Message, parents then have a choice for their children. They can have them stay in Worship or they can attend Children's Church which is for ages 2 through 5th grade. Grades 6 - 12 stay in Worship Service.
Other Opportunities......
There is a yearly Vacation Bible School promoted and scheduled.
Children also have an opportunity to participate in various singing activities, such as children's musicals.
Children also participate in various ministries being led by the adults. Such as shoe boxes, backpacks, delivering meals, and more.... The idea is to teach children about Jesus and ministry from His Word, and then to show them by active participation. It is a joy seeing our children involved in various community ministries!
Children workers are regularly scheduled, always needed and blessed, and appreciated!
Pam Overton leads this ministry and Pearl Duncan assists.
