Volunteer with Us this Summer!

Over the Summer we give our volunteers some time off from their school-year duties. We would love it if you would help us fill the gaps each week to make this possible. We need small group leaders in KidCity and KidCamp for our K-5th grade, leaders for Station34 (our preschool ministry,) and help as greeters at our check-in desk. If you have been looking to give volunteering a try, this is a wonderful opportunity to do so!

We welcome your help wherever you feel comfortable, and we are happy to answer any questions you may have. Please feel free to email Kimmi Lochner.

Sunday Mornings

Programming for children of all ages, faith walks, and developmental stages.

Nursery
Nursery

Six Weeks to Age Two

9:30 and 11am | D Hall
Babies and toddlers are not too young to start learning about God’s love for them. During your child’s time in the nursery they are invited to participate in various activities such as hearing a Bible story, playing games, singing songs, and eating a snack. Email Deon Willis to schedule a tour or learn more.

Preschool
Preschool

Age Three to Young Fives

9:30 and 11am | Upper C-Hall

Children engage with large group music, video, and fun activities to reinforce the Bible lessons. Following their large group worship, they participate in small group crafts, free play, and snack time in their assigned classrooms. Children are welcome to attend one or both hours; programming is continuous.

Elementary
Elementary

Kindergarten through Fifth Grade

9:30 and 11am | Fellowship Hall

Children participate in large group praise and worship, videos, and interactive presentations. Prior to the large group presentation, they move to grade-level small groups for Bible study activities. Children who stay for two sessions enjoy a small group program that reinforces the lesson and faith-milestone goals with more discussion and activities. Children may attend one or both sessions at 9:30 and 11am. We encourage kids to bring their Bible every Sunday!

Faith Milestones

Marking "Firsts" in Your Child's Faith Journey

Marking children’s physical “firsts,” such as first steps and first words, is an exciting and memorable part of parenting. Just as important, and just as worthy of celebration, are spiritual firsts, or faith milestones.

These milestones, or rites, help children know they’re growing up as Christians and continually reconnecting to their faith family. Milestones are opportunities for Mt. Bethel Church and parents to partner together to raise up lifelong followers of Jesus.
