One of our greatest blessings at The Oaks is watching our children’s ministry grow. With that growth comes a wonderful need, we are looking for new Prayer Partners to support our children.
Our Prayer Partner Ministry is rooted in two of our core values: prayer and intergenerational connection. Prayer Partners commit to praying daily for one child by name and connect in simple ways (smiles, high-fives, and saying hello on Sunday mornings).
If you feel led to be part of this ministry, we would love to have you join us. Your prayers truly make an eternal impact. If you are currently a Prayer Partner and the student you were matched with has graduated or is no longer attending, I will be reaching out soon to see if you would like to be connected with a new child to pray for.
If you are new to this ministry and interested in signing up, please sign up with the link below.
