At ODCF, our youth vision is to “Open Doors So Children Can Know God’s Purpose And Power in Their Lives” by creating an environment which stimulates and supports the guiding, nurturing efforts of parents, teachers and the church family in their building children up. We believe children are very important to God; therefore, we are dedicated to providing a ministry of excellence for them. It is our desire to communicate the love of God to them by the following:
- Providing a safe, accepting environment where children feel loved and valued.
- Being a partner with you in the Christian nurture of your children.
- Reaching out to your child in God's love and teaching them truth.

Of course families are always welcome to worship together throughout the service in the sanctuary. Or, for those who would prefer, our caring children's ministry volunteers, who are available to serve your children during the service. Volunteers undergo a thorough screening process before serving in the Children’s Ministry.
ODCF values children as much as we value every other age group. Children are not merely the church of tomorrow, they are an integral part of today's church. Our desire is to reach out to your children in God’s love and truth. |
