EDUCATION

Bethel Library

Come into the library for magazines, books, and media, as well as good conversation! Our mission is to support the children and adults of our congregation as we all learn to walk in Christ. For information about our library, please visit this page.

Nursery

Bethel’s nursery exists to provide a safe and loving environment for children and to give them a positive first experience of church. We want children to experience Jesus’s love through the love of their caregivers. Our nursery ministry helps parents and guardians fellowship with other believers, worship and grow in Christ with the rest of the church body, and serve the church body. We welcome babies, toddlers, and young children during the 9:30 am Sunday morning service and 5:30 pm evening service.

You can find us on the main floor directly adjacent to the lounge. Here you will find a colorful room staffed by experienced adults who have undergone training and related background checks. We want to serve you and help take care of your little ones!

Sunday school classes for toddlers through sixth grade use the Bible curriculum from Great Commissions Publications, which is a joint ministry of the Orthodox Presbyterian Church and the Presbyterian Church in America.

2- and 3-Year-Olds

The youngest children should be introduced to Sunday school and learn the first lessons of the Christian faith in Bible stories as well as songs and crafts.

Pre-K through Kindergarten

Sunday school teaches preschoolers and kindergarteners the vocabulary of faith by presenting the stories of the Bible.

First & Second Grade

Younger elementary students see a survey of the entire Bible as God’s Word, learning not only the stories themselves, but how they fit together into the whole.

Third & Fourth Grade

Middle elementary Sunday school integrates Bible stories around unifying themes such as worship, grace, missions, and trusting God.

Fifth & Sixth Grade

Children in older elementary grades again work through a survey of the entire Bible, this time emphasizing the history of redemption and how Christ is central in all of God’s Word. 

Seventh & Eighth Grade (Jr High)

Sunday school for middle schoolers is about taking the biblical building blocks they learned in younger grades and assembling them into the system of Christian theology. This class studies the Westminster Shorter Catechism and Heidelberg Catechism in alternate years.

Ninth through Twelfth Grade (Sr High)

The high school classes uses a multi-year curriculum that covers personal Bible study, prayer, church history, the Westminster Confession of Faith, career and vocation, and contemporary issues.

Adult Sunday School

Bethel will be offer one adult Sunday school class for the winter term (January-February).

Power & Presence: Knowing God in the Book of Exodus
 
Exodus unfolds with dramatic intrigue—slaves set free from a brutal king, a people learning to trust in the wilderness, and a God who speaks, judges, and draws near. Its themes echo across Scripture, forming the pattern of redemption fulfilled in Christ. It is the history of God’s unflinching and unfailing promise, a story belonging not just to ancient Israelites, but to all Christians. Over eight weeks, this discussion-oriented class will walk through the book of Exodus and explore its continual relevance for the life of faith as we come to know, trust, and depend upon the God who saves.
