Upstream Kids is an engaging, hands-on children’s ministry for kids age 3 through sixth grade. Children participate in a variety of activities and programs throughout the year and take part in many ministry opportunities.

Sunday Morning Worship: A program is offered Sunday mornings during the worship service.  The children receive Biblical instruction at their level in a fun and safe environment. Each week’s lesson focuses on a Biblical truth that is then reinforced through a variety of hands-on activities including games, songs, craft projects, snacks and skits. Some specific past studies have included Fruits of the Spirit, memorizing the books of the Bible, and dissecting each of the Ten Commandments. Come swim upstream with us – you’ll be glad you did!

Summer Day Camps: Each summer 3-4 day camp activities are scheduled which include trips to the Tipton pool, picnics in the park, and various other activities designed to share the depth of God’s love. This summertime program brings young and old alike together to praise the Lord and have fun through sharing, games, crafts, snacks, and stories.

Participating in Services: Children are a vital and thriving part of Oasis Community Church. They participate and perform in special ways throughout the year, especially during Palm Sunday and Christmastime. Their performances are a highlight for the congregation.

Reaching Others for Jesus Around the World: Upstream Kids reach out and minister to children outside of Oasis and Tipton to spread the love and message of Jesus. Children work together to fill several shoeboxes to give to Operation Christmas Child – a global outreach ministry of Samaritan’s Purse. In the giving of gifts, they participate in a tangible expression of the gift of salvation through the birth of Jesus.
