Welcome to kidchurch

Our volunteers are excited to care for your little ones! It is our desire that you are able to take the time each Sunday to fully engage in the worship and teaching experience! Each of our spaces has age appropriate toys, activities and lessons aimed to enhance your child's relationship with God and with others. If there are any specific needs for your child, just let us know! We're so glad you're here!

0-3 room (Nursery)

CRAWLING IN FAITH

Here at Bethesda, we want to partner with you in raising the next generation of Jesus followers. From the littlest of babies to our oldest KidChurch kids, we want you to know that you are not alone.

"I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus." - Philippians 1:3-6.

Our Nursery volunteers will spend some time praying for your family this month, while crafting, reading, and playing with your child. Each Sunday, families will receive a prayer card, where they can send in prayer requests to our staff throughout the week. We are so glad you're here, and it is an honor to pray for you.

4 & 5'S / KINDERGARTEN ROOM

WALKING IN FAITH

WHAT IS THE BIBLE?

These Kindergarten brains are getting bigger and bigger each week as we learn more about the Bible.

Our Kindergarten Crew has had a ton of fun laughing and snacking and learning what it means to be “aligned” with the rest of the church. As we learn more about what it means to be with Jesus, become like Jesus, and do what Jesus did, our kids will talk about some real things they can do at home to keep Jesus on their minds and in their hearts!

Each Sunday, families will get a prayer card that will help remind them about the week's focus. We pray that these small reminders will help your family connect and grow together this month!!

1ST - 3RD GRADE SPACE

RUNNING IN FAITH

Our 1st-5th Graders will be spending another month together, hanging out and having fun!

On February 23, this crew will be able to look back on the first two months of their year and check in with each other on some of those tough (but attainable) New Years Goals we made at the beginning of January! Keep an eye out for our kids who made it to the prize closet for working hard to meet their big goals for 2025!

As we continue on in our Alignment Series, this crew will keep learning all about what it means to be "dusty" before Jesus, and we'll talk about some steps we can take to get there. Each Sunday, families will receive a small card that will help remind them about the week's focus, as well as offer a space for you to send your prayer requests. The staff at Bethesda will be praying for your family all month long and beyond.

"Jesus himself invited his disciples to 'be with him.' You would spend every waking moment with your rabbi (teacher) - sleeping at his side, eating at his table, sitting at his feet - and end up, after long hours walking behind him from town to town, covered in his dust." - excerpt from Practicing the Way by John Mark Comer.

4TH & 5TH GRADE SPACE

SPRINTING IN FAITH

What does it mean to follow Jesus? What does it look like? What does it feel like? God sent the Holy Spirit to live with everyone who believes in Him, and He promised that it would help us answer these tough questions.

We were created to be in relationship! This month, our 1st-5th Graders will be together for some intentional fun and fellowship as we take another step into Practicing the Way by John Mark Comer. This group will be taking a deeper dive into our Alignment Series with some small group time each Sunday. Your children will be able to share some fun stories from the week and talk through some of the same things you're learning in BigChurch! We pray that this series will allow your family deeper connections to Jesus and each other.
