Ministries by Life Stages
Infants & Toddlers (Ages 0-3)
Parents or grandparents may leave their little ones in the nursery during Bible Study and during our Sunday AM worship services. Be sure to share your cell number with the nursery workers so they can easily reach you if a need arises mid-service. It is a joy for our nursery workers to provide loving care to each and every child while they are in the nursery.
Children (Ages 4-Grade 6)
During Bible Study on Sunday @ 9:15 AM, children meet in age/grade-appropriate classes. After Bible Study, they join their family in the sanctuary. Part-way through the service, children are invited to attend Children's Church (Age 4 to Grade 5). Sunday nights, Kids4Truth Club meets @ 6 PM (Age 4 to Grade 6). Each summer, the older kids (Grades 3-6) spend a week at The Anchorage Christian Camp or at The Wilds Camp, depending on which camp the group attends that summer.
Pulse
Teens
(Grades
7-12)
PULSE Teens meet twice a week: for Bible Study @ 9:15 AM Sundays and for worship, preaching, prayer, and games @ 7 PM Wednesdays. Check The Bethel Buzz and the church website's News page for PULSE events. Every summer, teens spend a week at The Wilds Camp in the mountains of Brevard, NC.
STEPS
(Ages 20's & 30's)
Women
Men
The STEPS Bible Study meets on Sunday mornings @ 9:15 AM in Room 118. Nursery is provided during the FBS hour for this group. STEPS also meets up for discipleship, fellowships and outreaches.
Woman’s TOUCH fellowships plus the Ladies for Christ Bible Study group which meets on Sundays @ 9:15 AM, allow women of all ages/stages to encourage and learn from each other. During the Ladies Conference at The Anchorage Camp at Lake Waccamaw, our ladies develop deeper bonds with one another and come back refreshed and excited about their spiritual growth.
As leaders of their families, men have a big responsibility. It is our desire to encourage these men to be godly examples to others around them, leading others into a closer relationship with Christ. Our Men's Prayer Breakfasts give our men an opportunity to fellowship and bear one another’s burdens. They also attend an annual East Coast Men’s Prayer Advance hosted by Christ Life Ministries.
Prime-

Primetimers encourage one another as they meet together for activities, sometimes meeting for breakfast, lunch, or an early dinner at an area restaurant or at the church. Each Fall, the group travels by bus together to The Wilds Camp in Breavard, NC for the annual Senior Adult Conference.

Opportunities to Serve
Music
We love worshiping our Great God through song and music. Our choir and orchestra are comprised of
church family volunteers who enjoy using their gifts during our services. We also hold an annual Christmas musical each December. If you are a church member and would like to get involved or have questions about this ministry, please see our Music Director, Don Alexander.
Media
Our services run smoothly due to the hard work and support of our fabulous A/V Team, who displays the week's announcements, coming events, song lyrics, and sermon outlines during all services. They also make sure sermons are available via livestream and our website. Our A/V Team members generously offer up their time and talents to help equip the saints and spread the Gospel in new ways. We greatly appreciate them!
Outreach
We want to reach people with the truth and love of the Good News locally and worldwide. We are partners with more than 30 who share the love of Christ worldwide. Every few years, pastor and church family volunteers spend a week encouraging one of our missionary partners and providing in-person help with projects. Locally, we invite our Cary neighbors to visit our church through canvassing and visits.
