KIDS
PARENTS / KIDS
Parents, you are the spiritual leaders of your homes. Your children are looking to you for direction, encouragement, and support. The focus of Bethel’s Kids Ministry is to partner with leaders and parents to create a community in which kids learn to trust God’s character, experience God’s family, and enjoy an authentic relationship with Jesus.
We have three goals to see our families grow in here at Bethel.
Authentic Faith - a relentless pursuit of a passionate relationship with God. This is a faith that is rooted in Scripture, reliant on hope, and established in the love and grace of God.
Significant Responsibility - providing students opportunities to do meaningful work in the church, training to do the work of the ministry (Ephesians 4:11-12) and doers, not just hearers, of the Word (James 1:22)
Ends of the Earth/Mission - sending out fully equipped students to live out their authentic faith beyond the walls of the church both here in Rochester and wherever God leads in the whole earth!
INFANTS & TODDLERS
Our Infant & Toddler Rooms are ready for your kids! Park in the main parking lot and enter through the portico doors, or the East Ave parking lot. Enter the main sanctuary and go to The Hub to check-in your kid(s) at the kiosks. After you sign your child(ren) in and receive their name tag, you can bring them to class in the Noah’s Ark hallway. (Follow the signs, ask one of our Kids’ Ministry Team members, or see an Usher.)
Classes are open for the entire service, with their own worship. Though they are welcome to join the adults too.
We also have our Family Room in the back of the sanctuary for those who need to stretch and wiggle. There, parents can be with their kids and watch the service on TV. Feel free to bring in a snack, coloring pages, and toys.
PRESCHOOL & ELEMENTARY KID’S CHURCH
[ 4 yrs - 6th Grade ]
Both our preschool and elementary classes feature worship, a lesson, and fun ways to learn about God.
Park in the main parking lot and enter through the portico doors or park in the East Ave lot. Enter the main sanctuary, and go to The Hub to check-in your child(ren) at the kiosks.
Kids stay and worship with their families until they are released. During offering, children will go to The Hub for the Kids’ Ministry Team to escort them to Kid’s Church. (Note, children must be checked-in before they leave the sanctuary.)
Nursing Mothers & Family Room
Each Sunday we offer a private area for nursing mothers, equipped with a changing table and a TV to view the service. It’s in the sanctuary, near exit door on the corner of East Ave and Union St, close to The Hub.
If you’re a family that would like to stay together for the service, but just need a little more space, check out our Family Room in the back of the sanctuary. It too has a TV to view the service. Feel free to bring toys, crayons/coloring pages, and snacks.
An usher would be happy to direct you.
Wednesdays
From September - June, while the adults are attending Wednesday Night enrichment here at Bethel, our ELEMENTARY KIDS (ages 6 - 11) have Kids Club! It’s a time of mentoring/discipleship where your kids will learn how to walk as a Christ-follower, while having FUN, gym-time, crafts, etc. Just sign them up when you register for your class.
Pick up is at 8pm.
If you need childcare for kids age 5 & under, it’s necessary to register them. Leave a message at 232-1136 ext. 10 or email info@bethelcf.com by Tuesday night.
