OakTown is our Oakwood University Church children’s ministry environment. It provides many activities for children to grow in Christ (see below). In addition, OakTown offers a unique experience for children to get to know Jesus through the OakTown community.
The OakTown community is just beginning. As it grows it will include a P.O.S.T. Office for prayer, a B.A.N.K. for giving, a Performing A.R.T.S. Center for praise and worship, an F.B.I. Office for Bible study, a S.T.O.P. Sign for Sabbath power, and a G.I.F.T.S. Center for accepting Jesus and sharing Jesus with others.
In addition, we celebrate children’s birthdays and personal milestones in OakTown. We promote health in body, mind, and relationships. We encourage individuality, unity, and community.
OakTown is looking for committed and Christ-centered people to assist in this ministry. We gladly accept monetary and other types of donations to help children know Jesus and go for Jesus.
