Sundays

Nursery (Birth–Age 2)

We provide a warm and caring environment for infants, toddlers, and nursing mothers during the Sunday morning times of corporate worship.

Primary (Age 3, Grades JK–SK)

We are excited to have a great time each Sunday morning with our young children. Kids enjoy active songs, games, and great crafts related to the Bible story each week.

Ozone (Grades 1–5)

In Ozone, our Sunday School program, we work alongside parents in training their children in knowing God’s word, memorizing key Bible passages, in praising and worshipping our Lord and Saviour, and developing strong relationships with their Sunday School classmates.

Midweek Programs

Treehouse (JK–Grade 3)

Kids get an opportunity to learn about God and to participate in fun activities that reinforce the things that we learn about him. Each evening after singing all together the “Acorns” (ages JK & SK) and “Oaks” (grades 1 – 3) separate for Bible Story, craft, and game times. Throughout the year we learn a passage of Scripture. Kids earn points for attendance, for saying their memory work, and for bringing their memory book each week. The points are traded in three times throughout the year at our “General Store.” Tree House ends with our exciting Grand Prix Car Race. See 2023/2024 dates and download registration form

Summer

VBS

Our Vacation Bible School is a half-day program that runs for one week during the summer and is open to children from three to twelve. While attending, children hear daily Bible stories, learn memory verses, sing songs, play games, complete crafts, and make friends. Most importantly, every child hears about God’s love and the sacrifice Jesus made for each one of them. Note to Parents: At long last, Oakridge hosted VBS once again! Thank you for joining us July 10-14, 2023 for Concrete and Cranes.  While the program is complete for 2023, our tentative date for 2024 is July 15-19, and pre-registration is open!  See the link for both campers and volunteers on our  VBS page.

Sundays

Youth Class (Grades 6–10)

Our Sunday Youth Class provides students with opportunities to live and learn as followers of Jesus Christ. We will listen to  relatable Bible-based teaching and engage in discussion as to why and how the lesson applies to our everyday lives. Make sure to bring your Bible!

Glo (Grades 6–8) and Ridge (Grades 9–12)

We seek to provide our young people with opportunities to study the Bible, grow in their faith, and connect with other believers their age. Along with our Sunday Youth Class and Rooted program, we also host several youth social events throughout the year. We wish to mentor and disciple our students, teaching them to study the Bible well, helping find opportunities for them to serve within the church, and partnering with parents to help prepare them for adulthood.

Midweek Programs

Thursday evenings: Rooted (Grades 4–8)

The goal of Rooted is to bring boys and girls into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ. Every week we learn from God’s word and work on memorizing a passage from the Bible. Each week we also work on a creative project and have a time for games. We finish off our year with designing and painting our cars for our Grand Prix. (Tree House is also available for kids in JK through grade 3). See 2023/2024 dates and download Rooted/Tree House registration form For Oakridge Youth in grades 9 or higher, Tree House is an excellent opportunity to volunteer! Please email Jacquie Stothers to inquire.
