Are you looking to be a part of what God is doing in the next generation? Do you want to see young people step into the life, family, and purpose of God for their lives? Well, we’re so excited that you’re interested in joining us as we serve the youth here at Bethany Church! We are incredibly thankful for leaders that make our mission possible by partnering with us to shine the light of Jesus in students’ lives.
Whether you're a parent wondering how we screen our team, or someone considering jumping in to serve, here's what you can expect:
Welcome to the Family!
Before jumping in, we ask that anyone interested in serving with minors has been part of Bethany for at least 6 months. This helps us build a relationship and gives you time to get planted through services, Bgroups, Next Steps, and Purpose classes.

Safety Is a Big Deal
We’re all about creating a life-giving space where students are protected and loved. That’s why we follow a few non-negotiables:
- Two-Adult Rule: We avoid situations where a student is ever alone with just one adult.
- Open Door Policy: Doors stay open unless there’s a window for visibility.
- Bathroom Guidelines: Only women assist younger kids, and all bathroom trips are supervised with clear protocols.
- Check-in/out Procedures: Every child (7th grade and under) must be securely checked in and picked up with their unique security tag.
- Sick Policy: If your child is sick (fever, vomiting, contagious symptoms), we kindly ask you to keep them home so everyone stays healthy.
- No Medication: We don’t administer meds unless it’s a life-threatening situation and a plan has been set with the campus director.
- Accident Protocols: Parents are notified immediately if injuries occur and reports are filed.
- Mandated Reporting: If abuse or neglect is ever suspected, our staff members are trained and required to report it to the proper authorities immediately. We take these steps seriously and follow all legal and church protocols to protect the children in our care.
