Oak Tree Kids
At Oak Tree, we believe children are a gift from the Lord and an important part of the life of the church. Our desire is to provide a safe, welcoming, and Christ-centered environment where children are taught God’s Word and encouraged to know, love, and serve Jesus Christ.
Each Sunday, our children are taught from the Generations of Grace curriculum, which walks through the Bible and helps children understand God’s character, His work of redemption, and the truth of the gospel. Lessons include age-appropriate Bible teaching, discussion, activities, and opportunities to reinforce what they are learning.
Our Mission
To partner with parents in nurturing the hearts of children so that they may know, love, and serve the Lord with all their heart.

Our Commitments
1. We Teach God’s Word
We believe children need more than Bible stories - they need to understand the truth of Scripture and how Scripture reveals God’s redemptive work in Jesus Christ. Our goal is to faithfully teach the Bible so children may come to know God, understand the gospel, and grow in faith and obedience.
2. We Partner with Parents
God has given parents the primary responsibility for the spiritual instruction of their children. Our Children’s Ministry seeks to come alongside parents by reinforcing biblical truth and providing resources that help families continue those conversations at home.
3. We Equip Our Leaders
Those who serve our children are encouraged and equipped to teach God’s Word faithfully, model Christlike character, and care well for each child entrusted to them.
4. We Provide a Safe Environment
We want parents to have confidence that their children are being cared for in a safe, orderly, and welcoming environment. We take the responsibility of caring for children seriously and seek to provide a setting where they can learn, participate, and grow.
