Bethany believes our children are valuable, precious gifts. While we normally offer programming geared to their age, at this time our Sunday school, Nursery and Tots Open Gym programs are suspended due to the restrictions in place for gatherings during Covid. You are welcome to bring your children and infants to church with you, but they will be expected to stay with you during the entire service.
Sunday Morning for Kids
Bethany believes our children are valuable, precious gifts. While we normally offer programming geared to their age, at this time our Sunday school, Nursery and Tots Open Gym programs are suspended due to the restrictions in place for gatherings during Covid. You are welcome to bring your children and infants to church with you, but they will be expected to stay with you during the entire service.
Bethany loves kids! Join us Sunday mornings in the Sanctuary for a time of all ages worship and praise. Following dismissal from the service, children are invited to attend classes designed for their age and stage.
Basic Structure of Care.
10:00 am Service
To begin our worship time together, all ages and stages meet in the sanctuary for a time of song and praise. Children are dismissed by the Music Director when the family worship time has concluded.
Nursery Care: Upper Level
Preschool – Kindergarten: Upper Level
Grade 1,2,3: Lower level A4

Children 3 years to Senior Kindergarten
Our young children meet for a time of short and engaging devotional, followed by play. Your child will engage in group conversation about simple life application topics. Your child will also be encouraged with simple-to-remember Bible verses and exciting facts related to the weekly study.
Grade 1 through Grade 6
Our school aged children meet in two different ages and stages – Grade 1-3 and Grade 4-6.
Children in this age group will come together in a large group format to engage in games, activities and story, followed by small group discussion, crafts and learning activities suited to their age and stage.
Curriculum and Learning Materials.
To learn more about what your kids are studying in their classes on Sunday mornings, please feel free to connect with their teachers OR the Children’s Ministry Intern Worker at rqaryaqos@bethanyemc.ca.
Child Safety
Bethany EMC has a Protection Plan in place to help keep your kids safe. Our teachers and helpers are screened through application, interview, police check, references and training. Bethany also has a weekly Hall Monitor program in place (screened individuals who circulate the halls ensuring that kids are in their designated classrooms and that any unscreened adults are not present in children’s hallways, passageways etc.)
How can you help keep Bethany Kids Safe?
* Please note: Children age 3 through Senior Kindergarten should be dropped off and picked up from their classroom by a Parent or Guardian. Children in this age group must be signed in and out of their program. Children Grade 1-3 must be picked up from their classroom by a caregiver 16 years or older.
