Children and Youth at Olivet

Each year, our children help tell the story of Jesus’ birth through a simple Christmas play. Costumes may be homemade and the stage may be small, but the message is big: God sent His Son for us.

Around Easter, we plan special activities to help children understand the cross and the resurrection. This may include a children’s program, a lesson geared for younger hearts, or a family-focused gathering. We point them to the hope of the empty tomb in ways they can grasp.

When school is out for summer, we host Vacation Bible School as a highlight of the year for kids in our church and community. Through Bible stories, songs, crafts, and small-group time, children hear the Gospel clearly and build friendships in a safe, caring environment.

We celebrate new life in our church family through baby dedications, where parents publicly commit to raising their child in the nurture and instruction of the Lord. These moments remind us that God is at work from the youngest ages and that the church walks alongside families as they grow.
