Life at Knotty Oak
Ministries for every season of life.
From our youngest children to our seasoned saints, every ministry at Knotty Oak is built around the same two hopes: deeper engagement with God’s Word, and richer fellowship with one another.
Age 4 to 6th Grade
Children's Ministry
Sunday Mornings & Evenings
Children represent the greatest opportunity to make a long-term impact in our world for Christ. Our Children's Chapel meets every Sunday, morning and evening, with prayer, singing, age-grouped instruction, crafts, and refreshments.
Children begin together, then split into classroom groups. On Sunday evenings they join the adults for worship before dismissing to their classes.

Teen Ministry
Year-Round
The teenage years are when you get ready for adulthood. We give our teens real opportunities to grow spiritually, to lead, and to build their Christian walk. We do that alongside friendship, fellowship, and all kinds of ministry and gatherings throughout the year.
Our teens help lead VBS each August and gather regularly for fellowship.
Every June our teens go up to New England Baptist Teen Camp for a week of preaching, competition, and fellowship. It's one of the highlights of their year.

Adult Ministry
Monthly & Bi-Monthly
Relationship building and social activity are important aspects of the Christian life. Our young adults gather regularly for dinners, bowling, game nights, campfires, and baseball games and worship together every Sunday.
It's the kind of community you'd want for your early career, early marriage, and early-parenting years: real friends, serious about Scripture, enjoying life together.

First Full Week of August
Vacation Bible School
Annual
Knotty Oak has a long history of conducting excellent Vacation Bible Schools. Each year the first full week of August, children ages 5 through 12th grade enjoy a full week of teaching, recreation, crafts, and refreshments.
The week closes with a Saturday Funfair and a Sunday Parent's Night — a warm invitation for the whole community.
Children's Outreach
Child Evangelism Fellowship
Year-Round
Knotty Oak partners with Child Evangelism Fellowship to reach boys and girls in our community with the Good News of Jesus Christ. Through Good News Clubs, 5-Day Clubs, and Bible-centered teaching, the Gospel is brought right where children are.
It's one of the most direct ways our church family multiplies its impact — coming alongside CEF workers and supporting the simple, faithful work of teaching children Scripture.
