Sunday School
Children at Bethany
Children are an important part of our church family, and we want every child to know they are loved by God, welcomed at Bethany, and encouraged to grow in faith.
Sunday School
During the school year, children in kindergarten through 5th grade are invited to participate in Sunday School during worship.
Before worship begins, parents escort their children to the Sunday School classroom on the lower level of the church. There, caring, trained adult volunteers provide a safe and nurturing environment where children explore Bible stories through age-appropriate lessons, activities, prayer, and conversation.
Children return to the sanctuary in time to celebrate Holy Communion with the congregation. After Communion, they rejoin their families for the remainder of the worship service.
Children's Moment
When Sunday School is not offered, children remain in worship with their families. During the service, they are invited to come forward for a Children's Moment, a brief message designed especially for them before returning to their seats.
Worshiping Together
Children are always welcome in worship at Bethany. Whether your child participates in Sunday School or remains with you throughout the service, we are delighted to worship together as one church family.
Activity bags are available at the back of the sanctuary for children who remain in worship, providing quiet, engaging activities to help them participate in the service.
The sacrament of Holy Communion is an important part of our worship, and children are invited to come forward with their families.
Safe & Caring Environment
The safety and well-being of every child is a priority at Bethany. All volunteers who work with children have completed Safe Sanctuaries training and background screening in accordance with our church's child protection policies.
