EVENTS


Events in Kids Ministries are intended to be fun because, let’s face it, if they weren’t, no one would come.
More importantly, though, our events are an opportunity to reach out to our family, friends and community
and make the doors of the church more accessible to everyone who walks through them. The Kids Team is
continually amazed at how uninhibited kids are to reach out to their friends and ask them to come to
church for regular programming or one of our yearly events. We work to make the events fun,
but at the same time meaningful and engaging. 



EASTER SATURDAY

Hands on Learning is the concept behind Easter Saturday. Christ’s death and resurrection takes on new meaning for kids and families as they transition through different stations associated with the Easter story. A light breakfast and craft round out the morning. The high point of this unique event is the Easter egg hunt on the grounds of the church which mixes faith and a special treat.

vacation bible school (vbs)

Held on a Monday-Thursday each summer, Vacation Bible School is the opportunity for kids ages 4 years to 5th grade to come together with friends to learn, to worship and to praise Christ. Many kids have come to Christ through the salvation message presented over the years. A different theme each year supports time together filled with great music, Bible lessons, crafts, games and snack. Finally, kids put service into action by supporting an organization through their offering and each year brings a fun, exciting challenge.  

trunk or treat

Trunk or Treat is held the last Wednesday in October. Inflatables, decorated trunks (tables if weather is bad), cookie decorating, hot cocoa and families fill the parking lot and gym as we come together and fellowship with one another. We invite kids and their friends to dress up in their best (non-scary) costume to participate. 

christmas program

Remember the Christmas program when you were a kid? Well, that is the type of Christmas program we hold at Oak Hills. Held each year on the second Sunday evening in December (barring any weather interruptions), the program drives home the point that Christmas is the celebration of Jesus’ birth.
