Bethesda Kids Church Registration 2025/2026

Each school year we require a new registration form for every child that attends Bethesda Kids Church. This helps us keep our records accurate and up to date.

If you are a parent/guardian of a child/children that attends Bethesda Kids Church on Sundays, please take a moment to complete this annual online form - one per child.

Thank you for helping us create a safe and welcoming environment for all our kids!

SHARE YOUR STORY

At Bethesda, we believe you belong here - and your story matters.

A couple Sundays ago, Pastor Justin introduced this opportunity as he spoke about the importance of sharing your stories with others and the impact it can have.

There’s something powerful about sharing what God is doing in your life. Whether it’s through a message, a moment, or an experience in our community, your story has the ability to encourage, strengthen, and shape the lives and testimonies of others.

Would you consider taking the time to share yours with us? Click below to learn more. We’re so grateful to be part of what God is doing in and through you.

MUN BUS

We know that it can be so easy to miss out on attending church because of the inconveniences that arise as a student. In 2016 we realized that many of our students were seeking rides to and from MUN campus each Sunday, so we have been providing a bus to help students attend the 11 AM service ever since. 

This is a free transportation service for students/families/individuals who live near or on Memorial Campus.
