Children & Youth Ministries

View a Printable Version of this Page

All Bally Mennonite Church children and youth ministries seek to see children and youth grow in likeness to and relationship with Christ, maturing in their personhood and becoming equipped to serve as a part of the body of Christ.

We welcome you to visit our programs. Parents and friends of children are always welcome.

Children's Sunday School

Sunday School is offered for all ages. It provides a time for kids to interact in age-level groups and learn about the love of Jesus, how to grow in a deeper relationship with God, and how to apply the teachings of Jesus to our lives.

Sneakered Seekers

For grades 6-8, Sneakered Seekers is Bally Mennonite's middle school ministry. We meet the first and third Wednesdays of every month for Bible study, fun, and pizza. We also meet regularly for friendship building activities, such as bowling, mini-golf, movie afternoons and lock-ins.

MYF Youth Group

The MYF is Bally's high school (9-12th graders) ministry. We meet the first and third Wednesday of the month from Sept. to June in the church's youth room for Bible study, fun, and pizza from 6-8. The second Wednesday is normally held at Bally Community Center as a game/gym night also from 6-8. We have monthly planned activities outside of church such as mini golf, bowling, laser tag, etc. In February we have our annual weekend winter retreat. Once a summer we travel for a week-long missions trip or to the national youth convention.

Nursery

During our Sunday morning worship service (9:30), childcare is provided for newborns through age 3. Following the worship service, childcare continues for children during the Sunday morning education hour (Sunday School) for newborns through age 2. A crib room is adjacent to the nursery for privacy for nursing mothers or those wishing for their child to have a morning nap. Changing facilities are located in the Infant nursery and the toddler bathroom in this wing of the church. Please ask an usher for the location for the nursery or diaper changing facilities.

Vacation Bible School

For a week each summer (normally during July) Vacation Bible School is offered for ages 4 through grade 5. We spend each morning, 9am-12pm having a blast as we worship together, make crafts, play games, enjoy snacks, and explore the love of Jesus. Jr. VBS Mini-Camp is also offered for youth in grades 6-8.
