Serving with our Children’s Ministry

Our Mission

The mission of Four Oaks Kids is to partner with parents in equipping children with an understanding of the truths of God’s Word, the grace of the Gospel, and the character of God, so that they might worship the Lord with all their heart, soul, mind, and strength.

Our Vision

Children are a welcome and vital part of our church community. As such, they deserve our time, attention, and resources as we introduce them to God. Discipleship is a seamless, lifelong process that starts at the moment of birth. Four Oaks Kids is one way that we want to pour into the lives of our children. We also want to help provide resources for Bible Study, character formation, and family worship to parents and other adults as they shepherd and love the children in their lives.
