Our nursery is for children birth through two years. It is open for both of our Sunday worship services, Sunday School, as well as for Wednesday night programming. In the nursery at Bethesda, parents entrust their precious children to people who love them in a place that is safe, welcoming, and where they will know that Jesus loves them!
