Kidz Min

When you arrive at church on Sunday morning, look for our KIDZ CHECK-IN. Our volunteers will guide you.

On Sunday mornings, Kidz Nursery is available for children 6 weeks to 2 years old in Room 121, near the church offices and Stars Café. You may drop your nursery aged child(ren) off when you arrive at church (as early as 9:20am) and pick them up there after service, no later than 12:30pm.

Kidz Preschool is available for children ages 3 to 4 years old. You may drop your preschool aged child(ren) off when you arrive at church as well. They meet in Room 110, which is also where you will pick them up after service.

We feel that it is important for children to be introduced to “Big Church” early and often, but to also have kid friendly and appropriate Bible lessons and activities. For that reason, we combine the best of both worlds for kids in PreK through 5th grade!

Kidz start in worship with their families. At the Contemporary Service at 9:30am, Kidz stay with their families through the worship songs. Our Kidz Director and volunteers will lead the children out of service during the offering for age appropriate lessons and activities in Kidz Church.

During the Traditional Service at 11am, Kidz participate in the Call to Worship, hymns, Lord’s Prayer, Affirmation of Faith (Apostle’s Creed), Gloria Patri, and Doxology. Our Kidz Director and volunteers will lead the children out after the offering for age appropriate lessons and activities in Kidz Church. *If you have a 3rd grader or older and they would like to be an acolyte and help light the candles at the beginning of service and present the offering before they leave for Kidz Church, please let Amber Wigley know and they will receive training and be added to the rotation.

After service, you will pick your kidz up from Kidz Chapel (Room 113).

Kidz in PreK through 5th grade are invited to Kidz Club, where they will have creative, interactive Bible adventures on Sunday evenings from 5-6:30pm.

Getting connected…

Bethlehem First United Methodist Church is a family of faith that is passionate in its commitment to children and families. We seek to partner with families in providing a spiritual foundation through Jesus Christ in the lives of our children. 

At BFUMC our goal is to provide age appropriate opportunities for children to grow as followers of Jesus Christ. They will experience how God is present with them and participate in the life of the church. They will learn to use their Bible, pray, give, serve, and share the good news of God’s love and grace. Our desire is to provide quality and relevant experiences through our ministry opportunities. 

BFUMC takes the safety and security of our children of the utmost importance. All volunteers working with children have participated in our Safe Sanctuary program. This includes training in the supervision of children, youth, and vulnerable adults; as well as training in the identification and reporting of abuse. All volunteers have also been screened through a third party background check.
