LEARN MORE Early Childhood EARLY CHILDHOOD God's wonderful Gift In the series God's Wonderful Gift, we will learn about the Holy Spirit. This series will teach us that the Holy Spirit was a gift to the disciples that Jesus gave to them after He rose from the dead, and that gift is for us today too! Big Idea: God's Holy Spirit gives me power. Elementary ELEMENTARY | 1ST-3RD GRADE Hope Hope in Jesus can keep you going when the going gets tough. When you have hope, you believe the future can be better and that you have a role to play in making it better. While others can support us and help us stay focused on goals that lead to a better future, our best hope is anchored in Jesus. He is always good and that never changes! ELEMENTARY | 4TH-5TH GRADE Untangling Truth In an age of relativism, is there truth? You bet! And with God’s help, we can know it! This three-week series will help pre-teens develop the lifelong habit of untangling truth from themes of false teaching. God's word is our starting point and learning His word helps us recognize lies and false teaching. Wednesday Night Experience Groups Every Wednesday night in Oaks Kids, students will have the chance to choose between 3-4 classes that appeal to their interest for 6 weeks! We include a lesson from an experienced instructor, plus a Bible Story lesson to go along with it! We call these classes Experience Groups!
