Growing together.

Whoever you are, wherever you're from, you are welcome here.

Bethesda Students exists to help 6-12th graders find their identity in Christ by gathering for worship and events that encourage them to Glorify, Grow, Give and Go.

It is one of our primary goals to partner with families in raising up their student to be Christ-centered in his or her life. However, we believe it is also vital that we help provide practical resources that will aid parents and guardians at home in helping guide them through these important years.
 
Know that our staff is here to support families in every way we can, and we look forward to ministering to your family. Should you ever have questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact our student pastor, Tanner Dobson, at the church or by email students@bethesdabaptistchurch.com.

Upcoming Events

2026 The Good Shepherd Theme.jpg

FUGE CAMP

June 15-19, 2026

Sheep are creatures that lack a sense of direction, leaving the defenseless and vulnerable without a shepherd. Unable to care for themselves, they can be quite stubborn. Sound familiar?

Just as a shepherd protects and guides his sheep, rescuing them when they stray and meeting their needs, we have a Good Shepherd who does the same for us. He provides not only for our physical needs but also offers His peace, His presence, and His promises.

Join us for FUGE Camps 2026 as we dive into Psalm 23 and parts of the Old Testament where God shepherded the Israelites on their journey to the Promised Land. We will explore God’s unwavering faithfulness, His boundless goodness, and His care that never fails.

Cost is $414 per student. Be on the lookout for upcoming fundraisers.
$50 deposit to register. Balance due May 14th.
