YOUTH STUDIES

This fall we will be going through a series called "Made To Make a Difference", biblical insight into how God has uniquely created students with certain passions, talents, and interests to impact the world for Christ. S.A.L.T. ministry consists of Junior High and Senior High students, 7th through 12th grade. We meet Wednesday nights 6:45-8:00pm.

Our youth staff consists of: Jon Wipff Megan Pearson Darian Thompson Youth Leader: Micah Rydmark

Community Focus Groups

Not your average small group Bible study!

As a leadership team we have spent the last 9 months praying and fasting for the future direction and God‟s leading of Bethany Church. During this process we have read scripture, prayed and passionately sought the Lord‟s leading and now feel confident He has directed us to „make disciples‟ who can make disciples according Matt. 28:18-20. While in the past, Bethany Church has done many things well, we have not been as intentional as we could have been in the process.

So, we plan to be much more intentional with our time and energy and the primary focus for „making disciples‟ will be with the small group ministry of Bethany. We recognize that we are not perfect and don‟t have all the answers but we also recognize that is no excuse. We invite you, as imperfect as we are, to join us on this journey. Please plan to attend a Community Focus Group near you beginning the first week of

September and hear more about the vision and direction for this ministry. Get signed up today in The Gathering Place! We will be going through a study called „following Jesus together‟. This is a unique study in that it is based on the story telling model Jesus used and we read about in the Gospels.

Don‟t miss out on this great opportunity to be a part of the adventure.
