Imagine a place where children are welcome in worship. They are encouraged. They are loved. They are heard. They are led, by example, to be faithful disciples of Jesus Christ.
Bethel United Methodist Church strives to be such a place. We believe that it is our responsibility to invest in the lives of our children, and that children need to invest in the life of the Church. To reach that goal we offer the following opportunities for children to know and experience God's grace.

There are two children's choirs at Bethel: King's Kids, for 5 year old through 2nd grade children, and "J" Crew, for 3rd through 6th grade children. Both choirs have the same goal in mind - to connect children to God through music.
Through singing, handbell ringing, acting and playing, the children learn more about their Savior, Jesus Christ, while developing a greater understanding of the mechanics of music. Offering their gifts of music during worship services allows them the opportunity to help lead in worship and instills within them the knowledge that worship is really more about giving than getting.

Vacation Bible School...three little words that have the power to chase away those boring-summer-day-blues. There's just nothing like VBS!
Bethel's VBS is usually scheduled for late June. This past summer we took a trip back in time with Group Publishing Company's "Joseph: from the pit to the palace" VBS curriculum. Through Bible classes, crafts, music, missions and games, we learned that God is always near. But let's not forgot...we had a blast, too!
We hope you can join us next summer! Who knows where we'll be headed next!
