Baby Church
Birth - Two Years Old
In Baby Church, our babies and toddlers get to hear Bible stories, sing songs, and feel the love of Jesus from each of our volunteers. It is open for every service and located just outside the sanctuary. We have a variety of engaging and stimulating toys, books, and age-appropriate manipulatives.
Early Childhood
Three Years Old - Kindergarten
In our early childhood program, kids will hear a Bible story and complete activities that reinforce the lesson of the day.
We serve nut-free snacks and have play time in the indoor playground. This program is available at the 9:30 and 11 am Sunday services and 6:30 pm Wednesday service. Kids four and under are welcome in Baby Church at the 8 am Sunday service.
Kidz Zone
1st - 5th Grades
Kidz Zone begins with large group time in the brand new Kidz Chapel. This time includes songs, games, and a Bible lesson.
The second half of our time is spent in small groups, where there is deeper discussion and activities that reinforce the lesson of the day.
Kidz Zone is open during the 9:30am and 11am Sunday services and Kidz Small Groups meet Wednesdays nights, 6:15-7:30 pm.
Special Needs at ovcn
At OVCN we believe children are a gift from God. We are dedicated to our efforts to teach our children to follow God. It is important to us that we meet each child where they are developmentally, and we are actively seeking ways to create relationships between the kids.
To support this, we equip our volunteers and classrooms with various resources, such as sensory items, headphones, manipulatives, weighted lap pads, American Sign Language interpreters, and other accommodations to help integrate children into the classroom alongside their peers. Our goal is to build a strong sense of community within each classroom, embracing all children.
We are honored to partner with families as we journey together, supporting our children as they grow in their faith and understanding of Jesus. If a child requires a one-on-one Buddy, we collaborate with parents to find the right match, ensuring a classroom experience where the child can thrive and deepen their walk with Jesus.
Special Needs children, youth and adults are welcome at all events because they are an important part of our church family. If special resources are needed to attend, we are here to work alongside you to make that possible.
Please email us using the link below to let us know you are coming, and we will ensure the necessary resources are ready for your child.
