Kid's Ministry

The Oconee Fellowship Children’s Ministry exists to see the restorative reign of God’s grace impact our children by helping them enjoy, embody, and extend the gospel in every season and sphere of life.

As a part of Oconee Fellowship, we hope your child will be loved on through a multitude of ways throughout their childhood, including but not limited to: a safe and loving nursery experience during Sunday School and worship, Sunday School for all ages, a children’s church program, known as Kids' Church, for those learning how to worship, communicants’ classes for children interested in becoming communing members of the body.

To help us provide a safe and clean environment, and for the protection of kids and families, we ask that a child be kept at home if they have:
– a fever above 99 degrees or if they feel warm to your touch
– vomiting
– diarrhea
– sore throat
– green or yellow drainage from the eyes
– clear or colored (green/yellow) running nose
– cough
– contagious or unexplained rash
– any contagious illness or infectious disease

Because of the close proximity of families, if one child in a household has a contagious illness we request that all children in the family stay home.

Children taking an antibiotic should have received treatment for at least 24 hours, as well as be symptom free for 24hrs, before coming into a classroom.

Nursery, preschool, children or youth ministry workers who have contagious illnesses OR potentially contagious illnesses should refrain from ministry work for 24 hours after last symptom.

If an illness is discovered after a child has been in a classroom, they will immediately be separated from their group and loved and cared for while a member of our staff contacts you.
