Bethel Kids Expectations & Guidelines

WE ARE PARTNERING WITH FAMILIES

In an effort to consistently provide a SAFE and FUN environment for Bethel Kids to learn about JESUS, we will strive to uphold the following expectations as well as ask parents/guardians to do the same.


We love partnering with families as they love and lead their children to FIND and FOLLOW Jesus.

providing updated emergency/medical information.

Modeling Faith: Model a Christ-like life at home by praying with children and reading Scripture.

lessons, and worship to the best of their ability.

KEY EXPECTATIONS FOR BETHEL KIDS LEADERSHIP

BETHEL KIDS TRAIL MAP GUIDELINES

To ensure that our Next-Gen Environments remain SAFE, FUN, and focused on JESUS; we use a simple three-step flag system for participation.


Green Flag (Start): Every child begins here! Each week is a fresh start to enjoy a great day in Bethel Kids.


Yellow Flag (Warning): A gentle reminder to help a child refocus on our shared expectations.


Red Flag (Reset): If a child continues to struggle, we will contact you to check them out for the day so they can reset at home.


Moving Forward:

If a child receives two Red Flags, they will be invited to join you in the main Worship service the following week.


Partnering for Success:

After two Red Flags, our Next-Gen Ministry Lead will schedule a brief meeting with the parents/guardians, and the child, to create a positive plan for their return.
