CHILDREN’S MINISTRY | K-5TH GRADE

We Believe

We believe that every child is created by God, deeply loved and made in His image. 

We believe that children are not just the future of the church but a very important part of the church today. Our goal is to help children grow in their faith, gather in community, serve others with love, share the Gospel and live a life marked by prayer. 

We believe parents and guardians are the primary spiritual leaders in a child’s life. Our role is to partner with families by providing a safe, loving and Christ centered environment where children can learn God’s word and take their next steps in faith.

UPCOMING EVENTS

FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA

Sunday Mornings

Double Oak Kids offers both Kids Worship and Community Groups during both Sunday morning services, giving every child the opportunity to experience both.

midweek on Wednesday Nights

Our Wednesday night program follows our churchwide MidWeek schedule. Wednesday nights offer unique activities and learning opportunities. Throughout the year children participate in a variety of engaging experiences, including Bible skills, service, creative arts and children’s choir. ‘

FALL MidWeek for DOUBLE OAK KIDS (K-5TH) • 6:30 PM - 7:45 PM • CHECK-IN BEGINS AT 6:15 PM

Kindergarten & 1st Grade will prepare for the Younger Kids musical, “Jonah & the Whale,” learning worship songs and working together toward a special performance that helps them grow in confidence and in their understanding of worship.

Grades 2–5 will focus on missions, learning what it means to follow Jesus and share His love with others. Throughout the semester, children will discover missionaries connected to Double Oak and learn how God is working around the world.

Wednesday nights are designed to be fun, engaging and discipleship focused, giving children opportunities to grow in faith while building meaningful friendships in a safe and encouraging environment

BIBLE SKILLS

Our Bible Skills Program is a tool designed to partner with parents in helping children learn what’s in the Bible and how to use it.

1st-5th graders have specific goals that build over time. Kids will work on these skills in Community Groups, on Wednesday nights and at home with their families. Some areas of focus include learning the books of the Bible, how to find books, chapters and verses, and understanding how the Bible is organized.

Each May we celebrate all students who complete their Bible skills at our Kids Worship-Family Style event.

We believe the Bible is our richest treasure and God’s instruction for our lives. Our desire is to help kids discover how to read it, understand it and apply it every day.

For more information about Bible Skills email Stephanie Zierman at szierman@docc.org 

Salvation and Baptism

At Double Oak Kids, we want to partner with you as your child begins to understand what it means to follow Jesus.

When your child makes a profession of faith, you will schedule a meeting with Stephanie Zierman, our children’s minister, this time allows for personal conversation about your child’s faith, and helps us walk alongside your family in this important step.

You will also receive helpful materials to work through at home together. After completing this step, you will meet with Pastor Adam to discuss baptism.

Safety & Security

Your child’s safety is one of our highest priorities at Double Oak.

We follow Ministry Safe practices to ensure a safe environment for every child. All volunteers are interviewed, background checked and trained before serving.

For added security our hallways are monitored throughout services, and security cameras are in place across our children’s areas.

We are committed to creating a safe, welcoming space where children can grow in their faith with confidence and parents can have peace of mind.
