10:30 Children's Ministry

Welcome to the Children’s Ministry Programs at 10:30am!

Babies through age 3 may go to the nursery when you arrive at church. All other children will attend worship in the Sanctuary until they are dismissed after the Children’s Sermon.

Nursery is designed around a dynamic and interactive video series called Boz. This series highlights different Bible stories. For the older babies & toddlers, a simple 5 minute lesson is led by the teacher and repeated for an entire month. Our goal is to teach each child through natural processes some foundational lessons about God. After the lesson, a snack is offered. Children are welcome to bring their own cups from home for each class.

Preschool Programs are called “Praise and Play”. These programs are geared toward children whose ages range from 2 years 9 months through 5 years, or Kindergarten. Children typically move up from the nursery when the parents and staff sense that the child is able to participate in more directed activities. A child will move on from Praise and Play when he/she enters First Grade.

Our Preschool program is broken into two classrooms: ages 3 & 4, and age 5 & Kindergarten. Both classes offer structured Bible lessons, a craft, games or playtime and a snack. Playtime is set-up to encourage creativity, sharing, taking turns and having fun. Children play with age-appropriate toys. Children are also are invited to participate in teacher-directed activities such as painting, playing with play dough, or they may listen to music.

Children in grades 1-4 are taught in our exciting Children's program that meets during our 10:300 AM service. Our 10:30 am program is called “Children’s worship”, and will feature13 week lesson series. These lessons will be taught using a variety of mediums. Classes teach Bible lessons using drama, games, music and art to connect your child to God’s Word.

Club 56 is a Sunday school program for 5th and 6th grade students. This program is only offered at 9 am. However, we do meet one Friday night a month for Fellowship, Fun and faith filled lessons.

Covenant Kids is a program where students in Grade 5 and older can be trained to help in our 10:30 programs. Speak to Mrs. Tibbitts to find our how your child can become part of this team.

For families who attend the 9:00 service together, or would prefer a Traditional Sunday school for their 1st-4th grade child, we offer classes during this hour in the green room off Fellowship Hall. Please arrive at 10:30.

Your child's safety is our first concern at Bethany Covenant Church. All parents will be asked to fill out a registration card upon their child's first visit. Parents should pick up their children promptly after the adult worship service has ended.
