WELCOME TO BETHEL WESTMONT'S YOUTH GROUP PAGE!
Bethel Youth Group... or BYG is for teens in grades 9-12
This is your place for information, fun facts and a calendar of events.
If you have any questions, you can reach out to Ms Maria or Ms Sandy or email bethelchurchwestmont@gmail.com
We meet most Sunday mornings from 9-10am in the Youth Room for HIs & LOs, breakfast treats, prayer requests and Bible study...along with games and activities. See dates below.
For the 2025-26 school year, our theme is got Jesus? and we will be learning together from the gospel of John in the Bible. We will study the person of Jesus and learn about his character and life, and teens will learn a simple Bible study method to help them dive deeper into the Bible. No Bible experience necessary!
