Children’s Ministry

Our Children’s Ministry is committed to presenting God’s word to the children of our congregation while being godly examples to those we teach. Our mission is to support parents as they train up their children in the knowledge and respect of God. We seek to provide a clean, safe environment for children. To help ensure the safety of the children, all of our adult staff undergo a professional background check.

Nursery Care

For parents of small children, we provide responsible childcare so they can worship in the main service free of distraction. We have an infant nursery for babies up to 12 months of age, an intermediate nursery for children from 1 year to 2½ years, and an advanced nursery for 2½ and 3 year olds. All of the nurseries are available during the entire Sunday morning service. Each child will be checked in when brought to a nursery, and the parent will be given a numbered pager. The pager must be returned to pick up the child.

 

Promiseland

Promiseland (where children learn that God always keeps His word) is the name of our Children’s Church and Sunday School program for children from age 4 years to 5th grade. We seek to teach the Bible creatively, to have fun, to be safe, to be child-oriented, and to work with parents.

Children’s Church

Children’s Church is held each Sunday during the first part of the main service. In Children’s Church, children will primarily be singing, learning Bible verses, and listening to stories.

 
 
 
 
 

Sunday School

Our Sunday School program runs during the second half of the service from about 11:15-12:00 each week. Each Sunday, most of the Sunday School classes will be centered on the same Bible passage. Crafts, games, songs, object lessons, dramatization and workbook pages are all examples of methods used to help reinforce the weekly lesson.

 
 
 
 
 

Vacation Bible School

Every summer Oak Ridge puts on a Vacation Bible School during the evenings of one week of the summer vacation. This year we learned all about the Armor of God and modern-day heroes who have been great examples of putting their armor on. We hope to have a photo gallery available soon (it’s on the to-do list!).
