WELCOME TO THE BETHEL STUDENT MINISTRY WEBSITE!
Our vision for Bethel Student Ministry is to be a place where:
1. Families are honored as the primary place where students learn the things of religion.
2. Students epxerience true heart-change rather than “cleaning up behavior” is the aim.
3. Students put their faith into practice through missions and mercy ministries on the local, national, and global levels.
4. The victories of the gospel in the lives of students are clearly and frequently shared by the larger church body, and vice versa.
5. Students are passionately pursuing their own spiritual growth through regular personal time in the Word and prayer along with other spiritual disciplines.
6. Male students purposefully set the example in godliness.
7. Every event is understood by volunteers and members as strategic and welcoming to guests.
8. Students actively lead and serve in various arenas.
9. Volunteers discover their spiritual gifts and serve joyfully.
10. Students walk across the stage at graduation able to say “I did not waste it”
and who are prepared to live Christ-exalting lives in a variety of arenas.
Feel free to browse around, get a feel for who we are and what we do,
and call or email me if there’s a way we can serve you
or if you’ve got any questions!

SUNDAY SCHOOL
Sunday morning @ 9:00 & 10:30 a.m.
Students gather with other students in similar age groups and of the same gender. Sunday morning is a great place for students to learn from God’s Word in a small group setting. Currently we are studying the covenant relationship between God and His people. The ultimate question for each student is: Am I in a covenant relationship with the One True God, and does my life give evidence of such a covenant? For more info on the series go to http://biblestudy.studentlife.com/Volume-Four-Overview-COVENANT_437_pg.html
During the School Year
ECHO GROUPS
Sunday Evenings (5:45-7:15 p.m.)
(during school year)
Our students meet in local homes to enjoy fellowship and Bible study. This encourages friendships to be built among students and offers a friendly environment for students to learn and to grow.
Here’s a look at what our students are currently studying in their Echo Groups: 6th & 7th grade students: Unlikely Heroes, 8th – 11th grade students: Life As A Vapor, 12th Graders: Now, That's A Good Question
During the Summer
During the summer, we have some fun and exciting activities for our students, like dodge ball tournaments, putt-putt, and a trip to Six Flags. More details on dates of these events will come as the end of the school year comes.
STUDENT IMPACT
Wednesday evenings (6:00-7:30 p.m.)
High School students begin with dodgeball in the gym and middle school students begin with Bible study. Then we switch. Our current series is Here We Stand: Knowing What We Believe and Why We Believe It. We are following through the Baptist Faith and Message 2000.
Glory in the Gardens
Busch Gardens will be hosting some awesome Christian bands in May and we’d like to encourage families to go!
We’ll have family caravans going from Bethel for several of the Sunday concerts.
