The Truth is the Sr. High ministry at Bethany. We exist to glorify God by proclaiming Jesus Christ as Lord to youth and parents, preparing both to worship Him forever (Eccl. 12:13-14).
The Truth is a place where students are welcomed and valued. We take time to fellowship, announce upcoming activities, share prayer requests, and study the Bible. Our Sunday school lessons cover short passages within a book of the Bible where we attempt to examine each verse within its proper context for the purpose of applying it to our lives.
Sr. High students 9th-12th grade meet in the Bethany youth room every Sunday from 9:45 a.m. to 10:45 a.m.

It all began with the Word. The opening chapters of Genesis teach us fundamental truths about God. We watch Him bring light after darkness, order after chaos, and rest after toil—all through the power of His Word. Join us for Jen Wilkin’s 10-week study of Genesis 1-11. We will follow three critical stages of understanding: comprehension, interpretation, and application. We will revisit familiar stories and historical figures, challenge our basic knowledge, and discover deeper meanings in the text. As God reveals Himself through Scripture, we can only begin to understand ourselves when we first glimpse the character, attributes, and promises of our Creator.

“The world’s future—yes, your future—-is inexorably tied to Israel’s future. This study from Daniel 9-12 helps you see why In the Future of Israel, John MacArthur looks at highly detailed prophecies about Israel that have come true, prophecies yet to be fulfilled, and the unique measures God will take to preserve His chosen people during the explosive, deadly period known as the Great Tribulation.”
We will be taking 8 weeks to observe these 4 chapters in-depth (2 weeks on each chapter). This will include marking the text in your reading and making observations and lists. Also, you will receive John Macarthur’s study guide and questions which you will use each week as your homework alongside your scripture text observations.
Finally, there will be one sermon per week that coincides with our study guide you can access on Gty.org . Then, we will come together and discuss all that we have gleaned for the week. I am so excited about this study. I hope you will join us!
