On Wednesday nights from September to May, beautiful Torvend Hall will be the site of our core junior high program. Wildside is designed to be inviting and have a friendly, fun, challenging and exciting atmosphere. This evening program shatters the "church is boring" stereotype and helps teenagers celebrate God's presence in their lives. It is filled with laughter, antics, videos, singing, dramas, a message and small groups that will challenge middle school students toward spiritual maturity. For more information, contact Pastor Rick.

Are you a high energy person who enjoys hanging out with slightly younger high energy people? Do you have a heart for teens and the willingness to share your joys and struggles with them? We are looking for a "few good people" to serve as sponsors for our Junior High ministry. Your time commitment could be a single event or could include participation in our regular Wednesday evening program (Wildside). You don't need to be a bible scholar or have a Master's in child development to work on our team. What you need is authenticity and love. Contact Pastor Rick.

Do you have a love for Christ and a passion for Senior High and College Aged young people? This might be a place for you. Click here and tell Tom about it.

Just about every Wednesday night during the school year, the high school youth meet up for a mixture of topical discussion, fellowship, food, and fun. Each week is something new — contact Tom Hoegel to get on the youth newsletter mailing list and get all the details on upcoming events.

Common Ground is a dynamic Sr. High music and drama traveling ministry at Bethel that has been going strong for close to 30 years. It involves about 35 high school students meeting once a week from February to June, and then we take a 10-day tour of the western United States (by bus) presenting a Christ-centered message of hope through original dramas, cutting-edge music, a breathtaking youth band, bold sharing of personal experiences, and infectious joy. This is also a great opportunity for adults who are interested in being youth sponsors. For more information, contact Tom Hoegel.

Each spring break, a group of youth travel to Tijuana, Mexico to join forces with Esperanza International, or "Hope", an organization that works to build houses, schools and centers for the local community. We work side by side with low-income families and the Esperanza staff- mixing concrete, pouring tiles and beams, digging trenches, and a host of other challenging work. In the process, families learn the building process, which helps make their community more self-sufficient, and Bethel volunteers practice their Spanish, and touch the lives of our neighbors south of the border. These three days of work, laughter, growth and fun lead to changed lives on both sides of the border. Contact Tom Hoegel for more details.

Come be stimulated by our awesome teachers. We are led by great adults and inspired by you.

Meet at Bethel to head out for a fun in the sun day at Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk. This event is for Jr High and High School Youth. Sign up with Tom Hoegel
