Get to Know Children

children's logoThe Children’s Ministry at Mt. Bethel UMC is a safe place where children can come to learn about God’s Word and to live and love like Jesus taught. They will feel God’s love through those who take time to share their talents. We call it an attitude of SPLATitude where we learn to Serve where we are needed, Pray with and for others, Love and be kind to others, And Teach or help others.

Help Your Kids Grow in Faith

Have you ever tried to have a conversation with your kids on the way home from church? “What did you learn today?” In the past, you might have received a hodgepodge of answers. Not anymore. All of our children, ages two through fifth grade, are taught the same Bible passages in Children’s Ministry programming.

Mothers’ Room

For nursing mothers, a room is available in the nursery wing with rockers, a changing table, and a closed circuit television so moms can see the worship service.

How Check-In Works

The safety of your children while in our care is of great importance to us. For this reason, we have put in place check-in and pick-up procedures to ensure the security and safety of your children. Read more »

Wellness Policy

In order to protect the health of the children in our care, we ask that children be kept at home with any of the following conditions: vomiting, fever, diarrhea, deep bronchial cough, or any other contagious illnesses.  Any child should be symptom free for 24 hours before returning to the Children’s Ministry.
