MEETING TIMES
Friday – Formation + Discipleship
Grades 7-8 | Awana: Trek
We are excited to announce that our Grade 7–8 students will join Awana’s Trek Program, where students will work through biblical teaching, Scripture memory, discussion, and discipleship alongside their leaders and peers. Click here to register.
Time: 6:30–8:00 PM
Cost: $99 for the year
Start: September 11, 2026
Grades 9-12 | School of Formation
For our high school students, we’re launching something brand new.
Using the Westminster Catechism, Scripture, and other resources, our students will understand the Christian worldview with greater clarity, wrestle seriously with what Christians believe and why, form habits that continually lead them toward Christ, and impart a vision for following Jesus into adulthood. There will be a syllabus, reading assignments, and weekly check-in discussions.
Above all, we want them to learn to live toward our great “chief end”: To glorify God and enjoy Him forever.
Time: 6:30–8:00 PM
Cost: $20 for the required book
Start: September 18, 2026
Sunday – Community + Invitation
Sunday Morning | Pre-Teen/Jr. High
During our morning services, students from Grades 5–8 will have a gathering designed specifically for them on the second and fourth Sundays of every month.
These mornings will allow our younger students to engage with biblical teaching, discussion, and community at a level built specifically for where they are. We’ll be using a new curriculum called “The Originals” covering our identity in Christ thorugh great teaching and fun games.
Time: 11:15 – 12:00
Start: September 13, 2026
Sunday Evening (Grade 9-12) | Youth Gathering
This is where things are getting a serious revamp.
Sunday Youth will continue to centre around what matters most: biblical teaching (This year will be the Gospel of Matthew), worship, small groups, and of course food, but we also want Sunday night to be something students are genuinely excited about all week. Throughout the year, we’re building in bigger games, themed nights, special events, and experiences designed to make Sunday Youth an easy place to bring a friend – Leader Thrift. Larp Night. Mall Hunt. Blind Cooking. Terminal. And more.
We don’t want Sunday Youth to feel like another program students are obligated to attend, but build the kind of community they hate to miss.
Time: 6:30 – 9:15
Start: September 27, 2026
All-Youth Events
Once every 6 weeks, we’ll host an All-Youth Event.
No Trek. No School of Formation. No regular Friday or Sunday programming. Everything stops, and Grades 7-12 come together for a unified event.
These are the times we want students to circle on the calendar and protect. Think of them like a tournament, concert, birthday, or big game. When one is coming up, you plan around it.
And this year, we’re starting it off right. See All-Youth Paintball/Hike event on Sept 20!
ALL YOUTH EVENT
Grades 7-12 are invited for paintball, or a hike, as we launch Bethany Chapel Youth (BCY) this fall! The cost is $25 for paintball or $5 for the hike. Cost will cover dinner, bus to the venue, and an afternoon of memories. Click here to register.
Note: New Youth Registration is required for the year. Click here for that.
STARTING SUN, SEPT 20
Calling all youth for our Girls’ Bible Study this fall in the book of 2 Corinthians! We’ll meet every other Sunday after service in the Youth Room @ 12:15 pm.
There is no cost to join – just an appetite to study the Word of God together!

youth worship academy
Beginning Saturday, September 26 | 10:30 AM–12:00 PM, students will have the opportunity to develop both the theological and practical foundations of worship.
We’ll explore the “what, how, and why” of worship: what Scripture teaches about worship, how we faithfully lead others in it, and why it matters in the life of a follower of Jesus.
Alongside that foundation, students will grow in the practical side of worship ministry, developing their understanding of musicianship, vocals, instruments, sounds, tech, and all it takes to serve together in this beautiful practice.
In a regular meeting, we’ll gather the 3rd Saturday morning of every month, but the first will just be a taster to see if students would like to continue.
BCY Worship Academy
Begins: Saturday, September 27
Time: 11:00 AM–12:00 PM
