Bethany Wesleyan Church – Jim Thorpe Campus

About this church

Bethany Wesleyan Church’s Jim Thorpe campus is the newest location in a multi-campus Wesleyan congregation, launched on Easter Sunday, April 20, 2025. The campus brings BWC’s Bible-centered worship and family focus to Jim Thorpe and also hosts Kidz Zone, an independent faith-based nonprofit providing before- and after-school care for children in kindergarten through eighth grade from the borough and nearby Penn Forest and Kidder Township.

Jim Thorpe worship begins Sunday at 10:45 a.m. and normally lasts about an hour. The BWC Kids page identifies nursery and children’s ministry for newborns through fifth grade at 10:45, with secure check-in and matching parent and child tags. Because that same page combines schedules from several campuses, the 9:00, 9:30, 10:30, and evening programs printed elsewhere should not automatically be assigned to Jim Thorpe. The general youth page likewise combines campus-specific Sunday and Wednesday schedules without labeling every line clearly; families should confirm the Jim Thorpe youth hour before attending. Visitors can confidently plan around the campus page’s 10:45 worship time and arrive early enough for children’s registration, while treating Kidz Zone as a weekday community service rather than Sunday childcare.
