Wednesdays at Bethany
Spark Nite: Preschool (3 & 4 year old's)
A creative and playful approach to Christian education for young children to nourish and guide their spiritual growth. Children learn through stories and are encouraged to wonder about different aspects of the story.
Spark Nite Elementary: Kindergarten-5th Grade
A fun and exciting time for children to learn about God in a fun way and be able to grow spiritually while interacting with other children to build relationships within the community.
Children’s Worship
Sunday Mornings
Preschool-5th Grade
Children’s Worship takes place on Sundays during the 10:00am service. Children start in service with their parents and after the children’s sermon, children exit with Deacon Debra and Mr. Zach to go to the Great Hall and hear a story, create a craft or play a game related to the story, and sing some songs. Children return to the sanctuary just before communion.
Bethany's Milestone Ministry
When a child is baptized the parents, sponsors, and the entire congregation promise to help raise the child in the faith. Bethany's Milestone Ministry is a form of Christian education that involves parents and caregiving adults with the ongoing Christian education of children We believe YOU are essential partners in this dynamic journey of sharing the Christian faith from one generation to another!
We celebrate four Milestones each year at Bethany.
- The Lord's Prayer - October 19th
- The Bible - November 16th
- 10 Commandments - January 25th
- 1st Communion - March 29th
The goal of each Milestone is to celebrate and support both children and families and to invite the community to actively participate with them.
Each Milestone takes place on a Sunday afternoon for approximately two hours, following the 2nd worship service. Children and adult caregivers are invited to enjoy a light lunch together and to participate in engaging and creative cross-generational learning activities. The Sunday following each Milestone the children will be blessed and recognized during worship.
Please reach out to Deacon Debra Alba at debra@bethany-denver.org to register your child or to request more information about Bethany's Milestone Ministry.
