Values
1
Safety First
We will make it safe.
A child’s safety is our number one priority. Every team member will be background checked and we have a secure check-in/out system.
2
Biblical Foundation
We will share Jesus with passion.
Sharing the Gospel is our favorite thing to do. We provide opportunities for kids to experience a living God and build spiritual foundations in their lives.
3
Relevant & Fun
We will bring the fun.
It’s not chaos- it’s outrageous FUN! Big games, engaging worship, and creative Bible teaching are just some of the ways we bring fun to church. We hope to be a place where kids want to come to meet God each week.

Family Partnership
We will connect the family.
We love families and want to partner with them to raise kids who love Jesus and live out their faith in the world.

TKOLG Faith Formation Pathway
Pre-K (Ages 2—4): TRUST
ONDO Toddler & Pre-K Ministry is a safe and nurturing worship play ministry where your preschooler can begin discovering God’s love. We’ll play our way through joyful worship, simple prayers and captivating Bible stories. Through the love of our caring teachers and staff, children learn that God is good, loving, and trustworthy. Your little ones will feel known, cherished, valued, and at home in our ministry. We’re waiting for you to join our church family! Let’s begin building our trust in God together, one fun service at a time!
Lower Elementary Ministry (K–2): KNOW
ONDO Lower Elementary is a joyful place for kids in grades K–2 to discover the Bible in fun and engaging ways. Through energetic praise, immersive Bible stories and creative projects, children explore and learn what it means to worship God. We provide a safe, caring environment for kids to make friends, practice kindness, and experience the amazing and wonderful God that loves them like a father and friend. We’re so excited for your family to join us each Sunday in helping our children glow with the knowledge of God’s love for them.
Upper Elementary Ministry (Grades 3–5): OWN
ONDO Upper Elementary calls kids in grades 3–5 who are ready to take steps to mapping out their faith journey. Through age-appropriate worship, thoughtful conversations, prayer, and hands-on learning, kids discover who God is and how faith connects to everyday life. Students are encouraged to ask big questions, build relationships, and look for ways God is at work in the world around us. Get ready to have fun, be curious and confident in the ways that God has made you!
We invite you to partner with us to help your kids grow into confident young believers who take steps towards Christ. We look forward to seeing you on Sunday!
Junior High Ministry
(Grades 6–8): LIVE
ONDO Junior High is a community where we walk alongside our middle school students as they claim their personal journey with the Lord. We lean into the idea that their faith is theirs - not just an inheritance from family or church. We help our members explore what it means to follow Jesus personally—asking questions, engaging in honest conversations, building confidence, and putting faith into action.
Through Sunday worship, small groups, mentoring, house gatherings, and service, students grow in a safe, supportive community that supports students through doubt, and encourages curiosity and trust. Junior High and Senior High currently work collaboratively to create a robust youth community within our church.
We invite your family to join us in this journey to help students develop a faith they understand, value, and practice in meaningful ways every day.
Senior High Ministry (Grades 9–12): GO
ONDO Senior High is a place where students prepare to launch into life beyond high school. Through meaningful worship, building authentic relationships through small groups, mentoring, and service, teens can grow into their personal walks with the Lord in the safety of our welcoming community.
From engaging in Sunday worship, sharing fellowship at house gatherings and diving deeply into our faith in freedom during retreats and answering the great commission during missions trips, our youth group is a place devoted to encounter with the Lord. We collaborate with the Junior High to create a welcoming atmosphere for all youth in our church.
We’d love to partner with your family as your student grows in faith, confidence, and purpose. Join us on our journey to confidently step out into the world as disciples of Christ.
