Welcome to Bethel YTH
Regardless of background, stage, or geographical location, the truth is that we are all searching for identity, purpose, and value. This is never more true than during the Junior High and Senior High years. At Bethel YTH, we believe that the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the local church fulfills all three of these needs. Our goal is that Bethel Youth Ministries (grades 7-12) would be a place where students develop roots in the gospel of Jesus Christ and in His local church. Our hope is that students will thrive, both now and in the future. And always remember, soon may the Wellerman come

What to Expect
Wednesday nights highlight our weeks at Bethel YTH. They are a large group gathering time where we dive into worship, games, Bible teaching, and small group discussion. We are blessed to have adult volunteers who invest and care for the hearts of our students and make themselves available to them. Summer youth group gatherings are slightly different and rather than taking place at Bethel Church, they take place in backyards in the warm summer air. Yard games and s’mores often accompany our usual Wednesday night activities.Junior High: Wednesdays 6:30-7:30p; Senior High: Wednesdays 8:00-9:30p
