  • child safety & volunteers

    At Bethesda Baptist Church, it is a priority to provide a safe environment for the physical and emotional well-being of all children participating in church activities, including programs and classes. The church’s goal is to keep our volunteers and parents informed as well as enforce policies to ensure that all children are safe and well-protected while attending scheduled activities.


    All volunteers and teachers undergo full background checks, screenings, and are trained specifically for their roles. We are thrilled that our volunteers have a desire from God and dedication to discipling children into becoming mature followers of Christ.

  • Jackie arlington, Kids director

    Meet Jackie Arlington, a Long Island transplant who brought her vibrant spirit to Clayton 16 years ago. Two days after her move, she serendipitously encountered Tony, and their inseparable journey led to over 11 years of marriage and a bustling household comprising three amazing sons, one incredible daughter, and an endearing, if somewhat clueless, family dog. They joined Bethesda in 2020, quickly becoming part of the connect team and later stepping into leadership roles for Bethesda Celebrate Recovery in 2022. Jackie is a welcoming presence at Bethesda, ready to connect and share the joy of life's adventures. Jackie can be reached at kids@bethesdaclayton.com
