Kids Ministry

Oakwood’s Kids Ministry partners with families to help children love God and love others. We believe that teaching kids who God is and how much He loves them starts at home. We then support families in disciplemaking by presenting God’s Word through creative, learner-based biblical instruction, and real-life applications.

Sundays at Oakwood

Each Sunday at 9, parents can check-in and drop off their kids on the Upper Level at Oakwood! You can speed up the process when you check-in ahead of time using our app (instructions and details below). This ministry year, volunteer leaders will be guiding kids through The Gospel Project curriculum. Through play, art, music and more, kids will learn that the big story of the Bible is more than a story - it's good news that can be lived out and shared!

Wednesdays at Oakwood

Programming is available for kids preschool - 5th grade from fall through the spring. Each week, we’ll provide a fun, interactive learning environment with games, songs, and opportunities to discover how to follow Jesus together. We’ll laugh and grow as disciples as we see and hear the stories of Scripture unfold before our eyes!
