Activities
The Youth Activities Committee and Youth Activities Coordinator work to provide fun activities throughout the year. Examples of activities include a hay ride and Trunk-Or-Treating in the fall. In the winter, an all-family day trip to Andes Tower hills for skiing and an all-family sledding day at Chahinkapa Park are events that everyone enjoys and another fun event that is requested by the youngsters is an afternoon of tumbling and jumping at Three Rivers Gymnastics.

Senior High Team
Bethel’s Senior High Team is active in many ways in our congregation. We meet in the youth room every Wednesday that there is Confirmation to hang out and learn about each other and how God is active in the world. Our activities include things from watching movies, talking about issues that the students are faced with and preparing for leading Confirmation worship. We have tons of fun and enjoy welcoming new faces.
