At
Bethany Church, our mission is to nurture one another in our
relationship with Christ.
We offer exciting educational
opportunities to help you grow in your faith. |
Let
my teaching fall like rain and my words descend like
dew, like showers on new grass, like abundant rain on
tender plants. I will proclaim the name of the LORD.
Oh, praise the greatness of our God!”
- Deuteronomy 32:2-3 |

Children's
Ministry
“And
he took the children in his arms, put his hands on them and
blessed them.” Mark 10:16
We joyfully celebrate the innocence children bring to our
faith. Our Children’s Ministry seeks to guide children in
God’s teachings, while making the learning process fun and
exciting.

| Children's
Message
(aka
Mystery Sermon Box)
We
love to put Pastor Eric on the spot! Each Sunday a child
brings Eric the Mystery Sermon Box. He never knows what's
inside of it until he opens it in front of the congregation.
Then, based on what he pulls out, Eric gives the kids their
message.
Here
are some examples of items Eric has pulled out of the Mystery
Sermon Box:

Preschool
Mrs. Mohr
is wonderful with the preschoolers. With her teaching
skills, she brings to the class wonderful projects for
Bethany's preschoolers. |
|
|
|
Kindergarten
Mrs.
Franklin, who is also a classroom teacher, offers a world
of creativity to her inspiring kindergarten students at
Bethany. |

1st
- 2nd Grade
Mr.
& Mrs. Brown have also been teaching this age children
for many years. After all these years, the stories in
the Bible are still the same, but their excitement for the
Lord is demonstrated in their presentation to our
children. |
|
|
3rd
- 5th Grade
It
seems that God has sent us the perfect teacher for each age
child. When He sent Mrs. Eickman for our 3-5
Graders, he again sent creativity, but a sensitivity to the
feelings of these growing children. The kids think she's
awesome! |
