Nurture Ministries

​Nurture Ministries focuses on congregational care and fellowship opportunities within our church, including Children's Ministries, Small Groups and Sunday School Groups, Bible Studies, Special Events, and Shared Meals. Please contact Chair, Mary Pryor, through the church office, for more information. 
Bethany Kids
Children's Ministry
Bethany Children are invited to attend worship with their families. If a child is willing to read Scripture, read or say a prayer, or acolyte by lighting the altar candles, please contact the church office or the pastor. Our church provides a nursery, children's moment in church, a children's church for pre-school through fifth grade, and Sunday School opportunities.  We believe children learning the traditions and practices of the Christian faith is vital for forming a life of beauty and goodness.
Children's Service
​Children's Church Service is offered each week during our 10:00 a.m. worship service. Sunday School classes for children are provided at 11:00 a.m.
