To reflect God's infinite worth through Christ, for the glory of His name and the good of all peoples.

Student Ministry

Our Student Ministry, which is open to 7th to 12th graders, shares the same purpose and values as our broader church family. Specifically, we exist “to reflect God’s infinite worth through Christ, for the glory of his name and the good of all peoples.” And likewise, we value the gospel, community, and mission.

Understandably, then, this purpose and these values shape our goals for the Student Ministry, which are summarized in the following statement: Working alongside parents, who are the primary disciplers of their children, we want the students in our care to:

  • Turn from their sin and run to Jesus as their Savior and King
  • Grow in their relationship with the triune God
  • Love and invest in the local body of believers who make up Bethel Baptist Church
  • Proclaim the gospel to those who don’t know Jesus

We recognize that we don’t have the capability to accomplish these goals in our own strength. But God does! Therefore, we want to work toward them, all the while praying that God would graciously make them a reality. And we do this through four primary means:

PARENTS
Our Student Ministry is committed to partnering with parents in the discipleship of their children, and we aim to do so by spending time together and through regular communication about the Student Ministry.

RELATIONSHIPS
We also value gospel community within our Student Ministry, so we’re intentional about reaching out to students on a regular basis and providing opportunities for our students to grow together.

SUNDAY SCHOOL
We meet on Sundays (September through June) from 9-10:15 AM.
