Kids Ministry

Connecting Kids to Christ

We tap into the way kids are naturally wired by engaging them with awesome music, fun games, and age appropriate Bible teaching.  We help them discover who God is, how he sees them, and how much he loves them.  We explore how we are an active part of a life long adventure with Jesus.  We empower kids to trust God, experience him in their daily lives, and share him with others.

Here’s what happens…

SAFE & FUN

Fun and engaging to kids on every level with exciting activities, trained volunteers and check in/out procedures.

BIBLE TEACHING

Experience the truth of God’s Word, prayer and worship in dynamic, relevant and engaging ways.

SMALL GROUPS

Encouraging spiritual growth through relationships, activities and discussion.

When given the opportunity, preschoolers are ready and willing to help because it shows the world they are big and can do things that matter. Need help stirring in the kitchen? Preschoolers to the rescue! Need help carrying groceries? Preschoolers to the rescue! Need help entertaining a fussy baby? Preschoolers to the rescue!

Could it be that the real reason preschoolers want to help is that God made them to help? We think so! That is why we will be spending this month answering the question “Who made you to help?” God made me to help! That’s who! After all, God is the ultimate helper, and we are all made in God’s image.

Memory Verse: “WE HAVE THE LORD OUR GOD TO HELP US.” 2 CHRONICLES 32:8 | NLT

Key Question: WHO MADE YOU TO HELP OTHERS?

Bottom Line: GOD MADE ME TO HELP OTHERS.

GOD VIEW: THE CONNECTION BETWEEN CONFIDENCE AND GOD’S CHARACTER, AS SHOWN THROUGH GOD’S BIG STORY

We might try to base our confidence on what we do well, or what someone might say about us. But true confidence should be built on something different. We think it’s found in understanding how God is both big enough to create the universe, but also close enough to be right here with us. We know that we can trust God no matter what. We are created in God’s image. And God loves us so much! Nowhere is this more evident than in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. And, when we trust Jesus with our life, the Holy Spirit is there to help us face whatever comes our way. We can respond to God’s love and care with confidence!

Memory Verse: “SO WE SAY WITH CONFIDENCE, ‘THE LORD IS MY HELPER; I WILL NOT BE AFRAID.’” HEBREWS 13:6A | NIV

Ready, Set, Move! with us this summer at Oak Pointe Kids first morning camp experience that will encourage every child to follow Jesus here, there, and everywhere. Elementary aged kids will MOVE with great lessons, awesome worship, and plenty of fun activities. We’ll cap off the week on Friday with a Family Fun Night where you will get to see the highlights of your kid’s week. Register today because space is limited, and early bird pricing ends May 31st!

We need a lot of help to make this morning camp possible and put on the best week of summer for our kids. If you have the availability and a heart to pour God’s love into kids from our church and the community, we’d love to have you on the Ready, Set, Move! team.
