Then they will be dismissed to age-based Small Group Classes for discipleship, application, crafts, games and more.

Kids4Truth at Bethany Baptist Church!
Kids have great questions about God. In Kids4Truth clubs, they will have great answers! Come learn with us!
Kids4Truth Clubs equips local churches, families, or ministry-minded individuals to reach kids worldwide through creatively and memorably taught doctrinal truth.
The Kids4Truth curriculum has a very defined scope and sequence. The curriculum is broken up into twelve key doctrines of our faith. Each of these doctrinal themes contain ten question and answers along with supporting Bible verses. The curriculum is available in four age levels designed to cover all twelve doctrinal themes. This knowledge is repeated and deepened in every level of learning in order to give these children a firm grasp of basic Bible doctrine and a solid framework whereby to base all other life decisions. As the child progresses through the four levels, the same doctrines will be studied more thoroughly and with the purpose of deepening each child’s understanding and appreciation of God’s truth.
12 DOCTRINAL THEMES
- God’s Word – The Bible
- The Greatness of God 5: God’s Creation
- The Goodness of God 6: God’s View of You
- The Trinity
- God’s Creation
- God’s View of You
