Oakridge Children’s Ministry
Our children's program provides opportunities for children to learn about God through Sunday school, special events, and summer camps. We also offer exceptional childcare for infants and toddlers during our Sunday morning services, so you know your child is in great hands while you worship God and learn from His Word. All of our children’s ministry workers are background-checked and there is a detailed check-in/check-out process to keep our children safe.
