Starting at 2 years, each child is invited to be a part of a Sunday school class. The age group divisions follow the above list. Our entire Children's Department is using the HeartShaper curriculum through David C. Cook publishing. Each class is following a 3-year chronological journey through God's Word filled with visual aids, crafts/activities, and take home materials that kids love and that apply the heart of the message for each learner.

Location: Education Wing

 

Worship Time: 11:00 am - 12:00 pm

 

During the Worship hour, nursery is provided for birth through 5 years. Once a child enters Kindergarten, they join their parents in the sanctuary to enjoy corporate worship and so that they may recognize that they are a vital part of this body of Christ as we grow together. To aid in this realization, and to help them feel a part of this "adult" environment, a children's time is included in the service. All children are invited to come and sit on the platform steps and enjoy a 5 minute object lesson. Afterwards each child is given a lolipop and a children's bulletin.

Children's Ministries

As each family strives to follow Deuteronomy 6:4-7, the Children's Ministry of Oakdale Baptist Church seeks to be one more way in which you diligently impress God's Words onto the hearts of your children. We desire to be an extension of your faithfulness as we welcome them into corporate fellowship and encourage them in their growth. We value this season of their lives and want them to fully understand how deep their Heavenly Father loves them.
