Kids Ministries

Partnering with families to raise kids who love Jesus.

At Bethany Christian Church, we believe church should be the highlight of your child’s week! We provide safe, fun, and intentional environments where kids can make friends, have fun, and learn about God on their own level.

Safety

Your child’s safety is our highest priority. Apart from guided parent or guardian tours, only approved, fully background-checked volunteers are allowed in our children’s ministry areas.

First time visiting? We can’t wait to meet you! Please plan to arrive about 10 minutes early so our team can help you get checked in safely at the BCC Kids Check-In station and personally walk your family to the right classrooms.

Sunday Mornings

Our environments are tailored specifically to your child’s developmental stage. You can check your kids into these age-specific groups during either of our service times:

  • Nursery (Newborn – 18 months): Located right next to the main Kids Check-In station.

  • Toddler & Preschool (18 months – 4 years): Located on the lower level of the Children’s area.

  • Pre-K & Kindergarten: Located in the Early Elementary area (lower level).

  • Discovery Zone Kids’ Worship (1st – 6th Grade): An energetic worship experience located upstairs.

  • Nursery, Toddler, & Pre-K/K: All lower-level classrooms remain open for our second service.

  • 1st & 2nd Grade Small Group: Meets in the lower-level Early Elementary area.

  • 3rd & 4th Grade Small Group: Meets on the upper level of the Children’s area, next to the Discovery Zone.

  • RESOLVE (5th & 6th Grade Small Group): Meets upstairs in a customized space built just for pre-teens!
