Exists to glorify God by assisting families in setting a lifelong course of discipleship for children.

God gives families the primary role of teaching children to know Him. Bethel Children’s Ministries is here to help in four major areas which could be pictured like a baseball diamond.

First Base – Seeing God

We long for children to know Jesus and experience God’s love on an individual basis. Our goal at First Base is to encourage children to begin a personal relationship with Jesus as they receive forgiveness and become a part of God’s family.

Second Base – Learning and Growing

At Second Base, we want children to learn how to follow Jesus as the leader of their life. We are dedicated to the systematic teaching of the Bible with emphasis on its relevance and application to the child’s everyday life.

Third Base – Serving, Caring, Sharing

At Third Base, children are encouraged to discover the ways God has uniquely gifted them and to use those gifts for the benefit of others. It is their opportunity to begin to practice serving and caring for people, and sharing the good news of God’s forgiveness with others.

Home Plate – Praising

A child’s relationship with God deepens through experiencing worship both privately and with God’s extended family, the church. At Home Plate, we want children to learn how to express their love for God through growing in prayer and committing themselves to God. We want children to see giving, service, and the arts as opportunities to outwardly express the love they have for God in their hearts.
