Ministries | Great Oaks Church

Great Oaks Kids

A fun and encouraging environment for your children to learn about Jesus.

We offer kids ministry for ages 3 months to 3rd grade during our Sunday services. We are committed to providing a safe and positive experience for your child. Our Sunday classes include an activity, a Bible lesson, singing and a snack.

If you are a first time visitor, we have volunteers who will welcome you and help your child register for the age appropriate classroom. You can also pre-register your child to help the check-in process go smoothly on Sunday.

Connection Groups

We want to help you find belonging and friendship at Great Oaks. Connection Groups are one of the key ways we do that! Our groups meet in the evening throughout the week in homes. Each week you can expect the opportunity to get to know people, a time of prayer and opening the Bible to apply God's word to our lives.

Each semester we offer Connection Group Intro to get to know you better and help you find a group that will be a good fit. Sign up for one of our Fall dates so we can help you join a group!

Connection Group Intro dates:
November 10
December 10

Equipping Classes

Each semester we offer equipping classes to help you deepen you understanding of the Bible and grow in your faith. Our classes are also an opportunity to get to know more people as we learn together in community. Throughout the year we will offer classes on a variety of topics such as theology, practical living and studying books of the Bible.

See below for a list of upcoming equipping classes at Great Oaks.
