God's Kingdom
Sunday mornings 9:15 - 10:15 AM
Gathering time to share the lesson of the day 10:15-10:30 AM
3 year olds - 5th grade
Oak Grove believes Christianity is a way of life. It means participating in a community where faith is experienced and shared. The God's Kingdom classes do more sharing than instructing, more interacting than reacting, more accepting than competing and are motivated by the love we feel within our faith community.
Sunday Mornings
God's Kingdom classes for 3 year olds -5th grade start at 9:15 in the Community Room, Lower Level. This is a time to sing, share the joys of the week, and to learn the theme for the day's lesson. After this 15 minute gathering the children then go to individual classes based on their ages. Oak Grove uses the rotation style of teaching. There are three rotations: The Sharing Room, The Theatre Room, and The Creation Station.
THEATER ROOM
Is where the Bible stories are acted out by the children. They are video taped so that the story is again retold in their own words.
CREATION STATION
Is not a craft room but a new creation every Sunday.
SHARING ROOM
Is where the Sunday lesson is told through the preparation of food for the children to share together or with others. We might even convince your child to try a new and unusual food! We welcome your presence in the Sharing Room.
PRESCHOOL ROOM
In the preschool room we begin the year by introducing children to the Bible. Our little ones learn to be part of a group and learn what it means to be part of the church family.
This year's theme of study will be based on the unit, Quest for Identity.
