Kids & Student Ministry

ROC   |   Birth through Kindergarten

ROC Nursery ministry’s goal is to give parents confidence that their child is being cared for by loving and trustworthy caregivers as they attend a worship service. Our desire is to maintain an environment that is safe and clean and to create an atmosphere of joy for young children. Scripture tells us in Matthew 19:14, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven.” We believe every child is important to God and can experience His love through our volunteers.

Kidz ROC   |   1st Grade through 6th Grade

Kidz ROC children’s ministry provides teaching and activities for children from first grade through sixth grade. Our mission is to present the truth of God’s Word in such a way that our kids come to know and follow Jesus. The Bible is not just a collection of stories, it is the outworking of God’s plan for the redemption of mankind. We therefore immerse kids in the gospel message from Genesis to Revelation to help them understand God’s love, mercy and grace for them through Jesus Christ. Our desire is for them to understand the truth in order to transform their heart.

JAM |   Kindergarten through 2nd Grade

JAM (Jesus and Me) provides a mid-week activity to help children maintain their excitement about Jesus and to grow in the knowledge of the Lord. The ministry is divided into three segments: Bible lesson, Scripture memory and Fun and Games. The goal is to come alongside parents in teaching children the truths of God’s Word that they come to know and accept Jesus as their Savior and Lord.

IGNITE   |   3rd Grade through 6th Grade

IGNITE provides a mid-week activity to help older children to grow in their understanding of who Jesus is and what He accomplished on the cross for them. The ministry is divided into three segments: Bible lesson, Scripture memory and Fun and Games. The goal is to teach an age appropriate Bible lesson that will challenge the kids to consider the truth of God’s Word that they might desire to personally follow the Lord in their lives.

ROC Student Ministry   |   Grades 7 through 12

We want students at River Oaks Church to know God and understand who He made them to be. Being a youth in today’s culture is tough. Peer pressure, schoolwork, busy schedules, and difficult decisions are enough to stress a student out. Our Youth Ministry is a place where students can experience acceptance and authentic community led by staff and volunteers who genuinely care about them. Our goal is to instill in our young people a faith of their own, where they are making decisions to follow Jesus and to serve Him in every area of their lives. We desire to walk alongside students as they face the ups and downs of both the challenges and the joys of life, helping them to live life with a selfless and purposeful passion for God.
