Children's Ministries


Children are important to God and they are important to us.  We hope to see them becoming equipped with the tools to live Christ-centered lives in today's world.  We believe that parents are primarily responsible for training their children. That's a BIG job.  It is our mission to assist parents in helping their children to discover and develop their full potential in Jesus Christ.  Come join in the following children's ministries:


Nursery
for children age 0-2 years old, Sundays during worship and Sunday School.

These little ones receive loving attention from caring and qualified staff.  They have an opportunity to play and learn in a safe environment.


Children's Church
for kids age 3 - 2nd grade, Sundays, 9:45-10:15 a.m.

Children worship in the sanctuary with their parents until the Pastor's message.  Then they are invited to participate in a worship experience geared just for them.


Sunday School
for kids age 3-5th grade, Sundays, 10:30-11:30 a.m.

Sunday School is designed to help build a solid foundation in God's Word.  Music, games, art projects, skits and other activities teach children the basics of the Bible.


Elementary Release Time
for kids in grades 2-5, Wednesday mornings, October-April.

Kids ride the bus from Park Elementary to our church for an active Bible lesson geared this year to teach them about putting on the full the armor of God.


Other special opportunities


Young people are an integral part of the ministry of Oak Heights.  Youth are encouraged to serve, according to their gifts and interests, in the life of the church.  The purpose of Oak Height's youth ministry is for youth to know Jesus Christ as their personal Savior, to develop relationships with other Christians, to grow in their faith, to become witnesses for Jesus Christ, and to increase the application of Christian principles in their everyday life.  The following opportunities are available for youth:


Sunday School
for grades 6-12, Sundays, 10:30-11:30 a.m.

Sunday school is designed to help build a solid foundation in God's Word and make application to daily life. Separate classes are offered for middle school and high school youth.


Middle School Youth Nights
for grades 6-8, Sundays, 7-8:30 p.m.

      Youth nights include crazy games, and a time to focus on a topic relating to life as a middle schooler. It's a great place to invite a friend who isn't sure about what it means to be a Christian.


High School Youth Nights
for youth in grades 9-12, Sundays, 7-8:30 p.m.

      This part of our youth ministry is designed to help youth get connected with each other and with some caring adults. The topics of the discussions are geared toward life issues that youth face.


Special Events
for all youth in grades 6-12, monthly.

      These fun, non-threatening events are an opportunity for youth to invite their unchurched friends to have a positive experience with a group of caring Christians.


Confirmation Classes
for youth in grades 8-9, Wednesday afternoons.

      Confirmation is a two year focus on an overview of the Old and New Testaments as well as the history and basic beliefs of the Christian Faith.
