Children

Sunday School is divided by ages 4-Kindergarten, 1st-2nd, 3rd-5th grades. Our teachers help students unpack the lesson through discussion, crafts, and other age appropriate activities.

Activity Bags can be found in the back of the Sanctuary, and are updated weekly. Children are encouraged to join the congregation for Worship, and in the activity bag you will find a worksheet for your child to fill out during the sermon, as well as quiet toys, crafts, and other entertaining items.

Our Nursery is open to children ages 6 months to Kindergarten. Nursery care is staffed by volunteers for both services. We are always looking for help for this ministry, so if you feel called to help, please contact Sarah Murdock below!

Sarah is the Elementary Youth Coordinator at The Oaks Community and works with our Acorn age youth, which include children 4 years up to 5th Grade.

She grew up in Victoria, Illinois and graduated from ROWVA High School in 2013. After graduating from Monmouth College, Sarah got married to Matt Murdock. She taught kindergarten and second grade for 6 years and is now staying home with their son Westin. Matt and Sarah live in Elmwood, Illinois. They raise goats, love spending time gardening and being outdoors, and enjoy traveling.

Sarah loves providing opportunities for our children to learn, have fun, create friendships, and ultimately, grow in their faith.
