Youth ministry at Bethany seeks to provide a safe place for middle and high schoolers to grow in their faith, build relationships with peers and leaders, and encounter Jesus.
Youth Group
Play games and worship together. Friends welcome!
High School meets Tuesdays from 7-9:00pm in the Youth House.
Middle School meets Thursdays from 7-8:30pm in the Youth House.
Our Youth House is 11 Howe St. just around the corner from the front of the church.
Sunday Small Groups
Our Youth Ministry aims to grow students into lifelong disciples. Part of this is integrating these emerging adults into the worship with the church.
The first Sunday of each month, students remain in the worship service.
Come to 9:00 am worship in the Sanctuary. After the Children’s Time, exit out the back of the Sanctuary (Approx 9:20 am) to the lobby, where you will meet your group.
Small groups (all grades) will meet in various places on the Bethany campus. If your student needs help connecting with the appropriate group contact Danielle.

High School Mission 2019
Friday August 2nd– Friday August 9th.
Location: Puerto Rico. This trip is open to current 8th graders through graduating seniors.
We will be traveling together to serve a local church and surrounding community in Puerto Rico, which was damaged by a hurricane in 2017. Much of this area is still rebuilding. It is also an opportunity to discover God’s heart of justice and learn from our neighbors in Puerto Rico. You will be stretched with some new foods, build relationships with a primarily Spanish speaking community, and a new understanding of what it means to be a territory of the US.
Cost $1750 before December 23 or $1950 after December 23
