Gen Now

Family Ministry

Gen Now Family Ministry is all about partnering with you—the parents—at Bethel Church, as you raise your kids from birth all the way into young adulthood.
Our heart? To help change neighborhoods by investing in one home at a time—starting with yours.

We believe raising the next generation of Christ-followers takes both the church and the family, working side by side. You see this all throughout the Bible—in places like Deuteronomy 6, Psalm 78, Matthew 28, and Ephesians 6.

At Bethel, we see discipleship like a two-sided coin: church on one side, family on the other. When we move in the same direction, we can make a huge impact on the next generation. That’s why we created the Legacy Pathway—a simple way for families and the church to walk this journey together.

Along the Legacy Pathway, we’ll equip you to disciple your kids through:
• Faith Talks – everyday conversations that point your kids to God,
• God Moments – helping them spot where God is showing up in life, and
• Milestones – celebrating key spiritual moments as your family grows.

You don’t have to do this alone. We’re here to walk with you.

Deuteronomy 6:4-7

“Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. 7 Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.”

Matthew 28:19-20

“Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

The Legacy Pathway

The Legacy Pathway is for everyone—parents, expecting parents, guardians, caretakers, and every adult who wants to invest in the next generation.

Maybe your kids are grown, but this journey is still for you.
Maybe you’re new to faith and still have lots of questions—this journey is for you.
Maybe you’re an empty nester who has been following Jesus for years—this journey is for you.
Maybe you’re a first-time parent figuring things out—this journey is for you!

No matter where you are in life, or how much you feel you know (or don’t), this journey is for you.

Let’s build faith in your family—together. We’re here for you!

Did you Know?

The church has 40 hours to influence a child each year, while parents have 3,000+ hours – your impact matters most!

Let’s Do This Life Together

We’re so glad you’ve chosen Bethel Church to be part of your family’s journey. We want to help you connect with other families—whether they’re in the same stage of life as you or have already walked that path.
