Kids and Youth at Bethel

Every Wednesday night from September to May, and every Sunday morning, there is a place for your child at Bethel. Here is what happens, who leads it, and how to get here.

Sunday mornings

A class for every age.

Connection Groups meet at 9:45 AM, before the 10:30 AM service, and every age has its own room and its own leaders. When you arrive, a greeter will show you where your children go and where to find them afterward.

Newborn to JK age
Nursery
Open all morning, from the moment you drop off until the service ends. Parents of babies carry a pager, so the nursery team can reach you if your little one needs you.
JK and Kindergarten
Little ones
Their own class, all morning. Drop off any time from 9:45 and pick up when the worship service ends.
Grades 1 to 3
Early grades
Connection Group class from 9:45 to 10:15, then into the worship service with everyone, and out to Junior Church just before the preaching.
Grades 4 to 6

Need a ride?

Free bus routes in Simcoe and Delhi.

Every Wednesday our buses make their rounds through Simcoe and Delhi, picking up kids and teens and bringing them home again afterward, at no charge. To request a seat, register your child for Master Clubs or Youth Group on Church Center and tick the bus transportation box, or call the office and we will sort it out. If you drive your own kids, registering is optional, but it helps us plan the night.

The bus is for children old enough for Master Clubs, JK and up.

Your first Wednesday

Here is how the night goes.

1
Find the buses
Turn in and park in the lot behind the coned-off area, where our buses line up. A parking attendant is out front and will wave you toward the right door.
2
Head to the classroom together
Bring your child right to their room. Leaders check each name off as kids arrive, so we always know who is with us.
3
Come ready to play
Everyday clothes are perfect. For the gym, shoes that will not leave marks on the floor.
4
Meet them at 8:10
Pick-up is at the classroom, or at the gym if that class finishes the night there. Gym time rotates, and the leaders will tell you where to be.
Safe in every room
Who is with your kids

Before anyone serves with children at Bethel, they complete a police vulnerable sector check, and a clear result is a condition of serving. Names are checked as children arrive, and pick-up is in person at the classroom or the gym.

Questions about our kids programs? Call the church office at 519-426-8421 or email info@bethelbaptistsimcoe.ca.

See you Wednesday

No sign-up needed. Just come.

Doors open at 6:45 PM any Wednesday from September to May. If your child needs a ride, register on Church Center and tick the bus box, and a bus will be by.
