Nursery

Welcome to Bethel’s Nursery!

We welcome families with children 5 years old and younger,

and are honored to provide a safe loving environment for your child as you worship.

 

Your child is welcome in our nursery during

Sunday worship services, and during the Sunday School hour. When you bring your child(ren) to the nursery, we ask that you sign your child in. The nursery aide or volunteer will assign each family a pager. This ensures quick and safe notification to parents in case a parent is required to return to the nursery.


Safety: Bethel has a Child Protection Policy that each volunteer is required to review on an annual basis. We also ask for each volunteer to sign the Covenant annually.

 

Bethel's Nursery is a Cooperative Nursery.Otherwise referred to as a co-op, our church nursery is administered and maintained by adults, parents and grandparents of the Bethel community. The special working relationship between parents and children helps build a sense of community and togetherness, which allows everyone to grow together.

We have a coffee fellowship between services.

During the school year it is before and after Sunday school, and over the summer for the hour between services. The nursery is not staffed during this fellowship time. Parent(s) and child(ren) are welcome to enjoy the nursery together or in the sunroom where the coffee and refreshments are available.
