Ministries

In the good ol' days neighbors talked over picket fences, and kids rushed through their homework to go outside and play impromptu games of kickball, hold important meetings in unstable tree forts, take turns being the mom or teacher, and hold life-or-death baseball games with too few players. Those of you born before the advent of the internet and PlayStation may remember those days. But times have changed. (Cliche, I know...but nonetheless true.) It's no wonder so many people feel isolated and lonely.

We believe that we are called as a church to reverse that trend. There is always something going on around here. A little something for everyone. Our vision is to meet people wherever they are in the timeline of life and provide opportunities to connect with those who are like-minded.

Here are just a few ways you can connect at Bethany:

  • Regularly attend one of four Sunday worship services.
  • Join a Life Change Class and find the support you need in your time of life.
  • Attend a Life Development class and become a partner.
  • Attend any one of Bethany many classes on Sunday and throughout the week to help you grow in your faith.
  • Volunteer to serve and become an active partner at Bethany.
  • Join a Life Group. These groups meet on the 1st and 3rd Sunday evening of each month in homes all over Lenawee County.

We believe that people are the most fulfilled when they are using their unique talents to build something bigger than themselves. With that in mind, Bethany offers more than 100 ministries for people to get involved in.



Children's Ministry
"REACH THE LAMBS...AND THE SHEEP WILL FOLLOW."ga_logo.jpg

The quote above is the vision which the Lord gave the founders of our fellowship at its very inception decades ago, and it remains our mission and call today! But in order to reach the Lambs, we need Shepherds! Is God calling YOU to ministry with our kids? Whether you are only considering giving Children's Ministry a try, or you are sure you're hearing the call of God...we want to hear from you!

OUR MISSION

God is inviting kids to join Him in a life of ADVENTURE in Jesus--an adventure in which they are...

SAVED
by faith in Jesus Christ (Embarking on the Adventure)
EMPOWERED by the Holy Spirit (Empowered for the Adventure)
TAUGHT to obey God's Word (Equipped for the Adventure)
SENT to minister His love to the world (Engaged in the Adventure)

"Christ died for all so that those who live would not continue to live for thesmelves. He died for them and was raised from the dead so that they would live for Him." (2 Corinthians 5:15, NCV)

We are excited for your children to join us as we live the Great Adventure of life in Jesus!

Welcome to Bethany Student Life!

“There comes a ‘time’ in every person’s life where a choice is made that will change the course of their life, forever.”


Bethany Student Life is an exciting youth and young adult outreach that meets every Wednesday 6:30 pm. You will experience a fun, welcoming atmosphere with intimate worship times and teaching on relevant issues that today’s youth culture needs to hear.

We also offer “Life Groups” where young people can connect with people their own age and discuss these issues and connect with each other while having fun. Youth Life Groups take place on the first and third Sunday evening of each month at 6:00 pm.  Whether you are in Middle School or High School we have a group for you. 

Check the Life Group section of this website for more information or stop by the Life Group display in the foyer of the church.


From music venues to sports tournaments to weekend getaways, Bethany Student Life is the place where you belong!
