Young Adult Ministry

The Young Adult Ministry (high school graduates – 25 years old, will gather at Pastor Jeff and Jan’s home on the third Friday of each month.  We are continuing a study on relationships.   The Bible has much to say about relationships and this is critical for this age of young people.  We will gather at 5:30 for social time, relationship study and discussion, games and of course FOOD and we hope that you, yes YOU will join us!

If you are out of high school up to the age of 25, please do join us on the third Friday of each month at the Welsch home.  If you need directions or have questions, email Jan at xianedjw@bedfordumc.org.

Sunday School Classes (9:30am)

Children

(3 years old through 5th grade) - In Junior Church, we challenge the kids to trust God no matter what, treat others the way they want to be treated, and make the wise choice.  Junior Church is where kids experience a fun-filled environment.  We use music, games, videos, and stories to make learning about God and His purpose for their lives exciting.

Youth

(6th grade - 12th grade) - In youth, teenagers learn about coping with everyday issues using real life stories and discussion.

Adult Classes

(Adult) - In the 9:30 hour there are three adult classes.  Some just use the Bible and discussion, while others are a mixture of discussion and video curriculum.

Sunday School Classes (11:00am)

Toddler and Preschool Classes

(2 years old - 5 years old) - The Toddler and Preschool classes use Wesley curriculum with stories, finger plays, activity, and free play.

Jesus and Me Caravan (J. A. M.)

(Kindergarten - 5th grade) - The Jesus and Me (J.A.M.) Caravan is a wonderful place for children to learn about God and the love He has for us.  Our J.A.M. program uses a rotation model program where we teach His Word through workshops with storytelling, drama, art, cooking, science and games.  This form of teaching is taken from the Bible, Acts 2:6; which says, “When they heard this sound, a crowd came together in bewilderment, because each one heard them speaking in his own language.”  This is what we are doing.  We are teaching God’s Word in a language the children can understand and remember.  Our curriculum is all written in-house using a 6 year plan.  One of the great aspects of this program is that we teach the same lesson for three weeks in a row, but each week the lesson is presented in a different fashion.

Middle School Class

(6th grade - 8th grade) - The middle school class uses Bible reading, activities, and discussion to learn about God's word.

Jesus Freaks

(9th grade - 12th grade) - The Jesus Freaks studies often relate to real life experiences.  We also study controversial subjects like revelation, drugs, alcohol, sex and peer pressure.  Our class is dedicated to finding new ways to spread our Christian faith and witness to our peers

Adult Classes

(Adult) - In the 11:00 hour there are two adult Sunday school classes.  Both classes use a variety of learning methods including discussion, video, and deep Bible study.
