Mission Statement:

To Make Students Fully Devoted Followers of Christ

At Bethel we love kids and want to partner with their parents to make disciples at home. We believe that Deuteronomy 6:4-9 communicates parents are the primary disciple-makers for their children. However, as a body of believers, we understand that it takes the full family of God to come alongside and encourage parents in the parenting journey. We are committed to partnering with you in these formative years. Our staff and Bethel Kids leaders are committed to faithfully instruct children in sound biblical doctrine, to cultivate Christ-like character and habits, and provide opportunity for meaningful connections and fellowship with believers.

For any questions, please email us – daniela@bethelbradenton.com

Deuteronomy 6:4-9 says, “Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise. You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.

Sunday Mornings – What to expect

All children from birth to 5th grade can be checked in prior to service at our KID CHECK station, located to the right of the main worship center. Once checked in, birth to preschool aged children will be guided to the appropriate room for your child. Kindergarten through 5th graders will join the congregation in the main worship center and be dismissed at the end of our corporate singing time to the main lobby where they will be greeted by their teacher. Accompanied by security they will walk together with their class back to the children’s wing where parents can pick them up after the completion of service. 

Classes & Age Groups

Our Nursery and Toddler Rooms (0-35 months) When you choose to let us care for your little one you can know that they will be lovingly cared for in a clean, safe and comfortable environment.

Our Preschool Room (3-4 years) provides an age appropriate, Bible based lesson delivered with love and compassion. This age is learning about their world and shaping the foundation of who God has created them to become, we take seriously the trust a family places in us when they leave their little one. From crafts and visuals to games and our secure playground, your preschooler will have a blast!

Our K-5th Grade Classes will be using Truth78 as their main source of teaching. The vision for this ministry is for the next generations of the world to know, honor, and treasure God, setting their hope in Christ alone, so that they will live as faithful disciples for the glory of God. 

Wednesday Night Activities

This night is dedicated to connecting the older generation of the church (our story tellers) with our future generation (our students). Our Wednesday nights welcome K-5th grade students. Students will be greeted by weekly storytellers from the congregation that will enthusiastically share a time where God has been faithful in their lives. From crafts and legos, to board games and playground time your children are sure to enjoy this night focused on fellowship with one another. Begins at 6:30pm and promptly ends at 8:00pm. 

Safety & Security

The safety of our children is of the utmost importance to us. To ensure the highest quality care we make sure every volunteer undergoes a detailed application process that includes background checks. Each week we take many precautions in order to make sure your children will be cared for properly so that you can rest and enjoy worshipping with us.

Not Ready for Drop Off?

Here at Bethel, we believe children are blessings from the Lord and are welcomed in service with the congregation. If your little one is having a difficult time during the service, we do provide a comfortable environment for you to continue watching service. Our baby cry room is located towards the left of the main lobby. Please feel welcome to enjoy service with your child in one of these rooms. We are glad you came!
