Welcome to the Bethany Kids Experience!
Bethany Kids is a fun, safe, and age-appropriate environment where your baby through 5th grader can learn about the love of Jesus. We engage with the kids through worship, fun lessons, and hands-on activities. We are passionate about partnering with parents and teaching kids how to follow Jesus and make disciples.
WHAT TO EXPECT

WORSHIP SERVICE (ages 5 thru grade 5)
Sundays 10:00-11:00am
Location: Worship Center
We believe one of the best ways for a child to grow in a lasting faith is to be a part of the regular church experience with their parent. To help kids 5 years and older engage with the service in meaningful ways we provide Adventure Bags with a variety of activities inside (such as Sermon Bingo, age-appropriate sermon notes, activity sheets, dexterity gadgets, and more!). After the service Kids can return the bag and their sermon notes for a special prize from the treasure box. Nursery is available for little ones 4 years and younger (see below for more info).
Pick up Adventure Bags at the Connection Center outside the Worship Center.

KIDS HUDDLE (ages 5 thru grade 5)
Sundays 11:15-11:30am (after Worship Service)
Location: Conference Center
What is Kids Huddle? Think of it as a sort of Small Group warm-up. It's a time of high energy games, activities, silly dances, and fun - all geared to help the kids with their wiggles and squiggles while getting them ready for Small Groups with friends. Each week the kids will end their time together by huddling up as a team.

Right after Kids Huddle the children will be taken to their Small Groups by their SG Leader for age-appropriate lessons, discussions, and activities with friends.
*All Kids Small Groups meet during the Second Hour after the Worship Service (we also have adult and teen groups that meet then!). Kids can be picked up at their Small Group room. Your child's specific room number will be given to you at Kids Huddle.

NURSERY (ages infant - 4 years old)
Sundays during Worship Service and Second Hour Small Groups

We have a loving Nursery team ready to care for your little ones so you are able to attend the Worship Service and a Small Group.

The Nursery opens at 9:45am which will give you plenty of time to check them in and get to the Worship Service. |

BETHANY KIDS CURRICULUM
All of the Bethany Kids Ministries use the same curriculum ("Grow Curriculum") to help the kids engage the Bible in a variety of ways while trying to meet different learning modalities. Each ministry focuses on different aspects of the same lesson each week and uses different mediums (music, crafts, games, hands-on activities, live skits, and more) to help bring the stories and passages of the Bible alive for the kids.
