Bethel's Place to Play

Our mission is to come alongside families to help educate and guide children on their greatest adventure ever...growing up! 

Bethel Kidz is the Children’s Ministry of Bethel. Every Sunday, our children get to experience a unique, exciting, dynamic ministry geared just for them. Children K-5th grade participate in an active learning environment, which utilizes games, crafts, puppets, prizes, bible stories and other activities to teach children the truths of God’s word.

Bethel Kidz is staffed by our friendly & responsible volunteer team which is lead by our children's pastor Nalene Vanderpoel. All workers involved in Bethel kids have been thoroughly trained and screened, because we always strive to provide a safe environment for our children. All children must be registered prior to attending Bethel Kidz. 

Registration is fast and easy. So please see one of our friendly volunteers at the registration table located right outside our Bethel Kidz wing.

If you have any questions about Bethel Kidz, our children’s church ministry, contact Nalene at 518-355-1866 or nalenev@bethelfullgospel.com

Royal Rangers is about hands-on adventure and side-by-side relationship building. It's how boys learn and relate best. Beyond the fun, boys discover they have what it takes to be men as they spend time with mentors outdoors, in the gym, at the computer, on the service project site, or on the stage. 

Royal Rangers provides boys with fun activities in five areas of interest, which we refer to as our "core competencies:"

outdoor activities, sports, trade skills, technologies, and arts.

Many activities in Royal Rangers involve earning merits, which are awards that are based on the development of skills in one or more of these core areas.

Mpact Kids and Mpact Girls Clubs is a program for winning girls (and preschool boys) to Jesus Christ through love and acceptance. 

Mpact Clubs provide an environment of support and accountability while helping girls to develop their gifts and abilities. In addition, girls build lifelong relationships with mentors who encourage girls to be spiritual leaders.

We meet every Wednesday Night @ 6:30pm and rides are often available.

If you have questions about our Mpact program, feel free to contact our Mpact Coordinator Nalene Vanderpoel.​​​​​​​
