Join us for Children's Ministry!

OSLC loves kids! Children get to worship, grow and encounter Jesus each week. Awesome kid's programs, great teachers and leaders, music and Bible stories are part of what makes Children's Ministry so much fun. Children age 2 through 4th grade join others in their age group for hands-on learning about Jesus through interactive Bible-stories, games, crafts, music and more! These age-approproiate lessons will benefit each child as they grow to understand God's love. If you have 5th or 6th grade kids click here to learn about CLUB 56 - Christ Leading Us Beyond 5th and 6th Grade! 

We demonstrate our commitment to sharing God’s Word with children by:

• offering Sunday School beginning at age two
• encouraging and supporting adult involvement in teaching 
• using a relational, experiential, applicable and learner-based curriculum
• supporting a yearly Faith Marker with parental involvement for every age
• 
  
integrating mission and outreach into the curriculum, both locally and internationally 
• gathering all ages monthly for a time of worship through prayer and praise
  

Curriculum
To connect kids to Jesus, curriculum is used that incorporates the REAL Learning philosophy, a learning approach that results in long-term retention and life transformation. REAL Learning is:

• Relational– Learner-to-learner enhances learning and building Christian friendships.
• Experiential – What learners experience through discussion and actions sticks with them up to 9 times longer than what they simply hear or read.
• 
  
Applicable – The aim of Christian education is to equip the learners to be both hearers and doers of God’s Word. Apply faith to life.
• Learner-based – Learners understand and retain more when the learning process takes into consideration how they learn best.

We use the Faithweaver curriculum "Weaving Faith into Families" for all 2 year old through 4th grade classes.

Choices for Families

To serve children best and maintain a safe environment for high-quality Christian education, families can choose from 3 options when enrolling their kids:

• Sunday School at 9:15 a.m.
• Sunday School 10:30 a.m.
• WAVE - Wednesdays Are Very Exciting - Wednesday night from 5:30-6:30 p.m.

Staff
We staff our classes with a team of adult teachers working together cooperatively maintaining a one-to-ten ratio. Youth and adult assistants support teaching teams and offer children added attention, care and support. Teachers are provided with training, curriculum and on-going support. In addition to our teaching teams we have the Bucket Brigade that pulls supplies and prepares materials for our teachers. For the safety of all God's children, volunteers serving in direct contact with children must complete a background check.
