Youth Ministries

Bethel Youth Ministry values...

WORSHIP: receiving and celebrating God's love through scripture, sacrament, and music
COMMUNITY WITHIN (fellowship): connecting with and supporting one another with kindness and grace; where all are welcome
COMMUNITY BEYOND (service): learning about and reaching out to the wider community to share Christ's love with a big heart
LEARNING: personal and spiritual growth for all ages through education, small groups, and other opportunities

Youth and Children are in Bethel’s DNA!

Their presence and energy are felt throughout the congregation.

Bethel’s Youth Ministry program strives to connect our youth to their families and to their community, knowing that God is ever present in them and their world. We believe that, with a solid faith footing, they can grow and flourish into adulthood, inspired to find their place in it, their calling.
