Orange Park Methodist Church Children's Ministry

Orange Park Methodist Church Children's Ministry OPMC offers a wide variety of religiously based, fun activities each week for children of all ages. Kids are dropped off and picked up in the Fellowship Hall.

Our mission is to create a safe environment that provides children with an active, engaging and theologically sound ministry experience. We recognize the importance of your child’s spiritual development and want to partner with families to build a strong foundation of faith in your kids. Our goal is to help each child become a lifelong disciple of Jesus Christ. We have weekly ministries for children, as well as a monthly Parent's Night Out, Kids Camp for off school days (Clay County Schools) and a week long Vacation Bible Camp in July. On Sunday mornings at 10:00 AM, we offer Sunday School to all ages. Additionally, we offer a Children's Worship Service during normal Worship times (9 AM- Blended Service, 11 AM Traditional Service) in the Fellowship Hall. On Sunday nights we have a ministry called Kids Club and Club 456:

Kids’ Club is a ministry for VPK - 3rd grade students on Sunday nights from 4:30 - 7:30 PM. The night includes games, crafts, Bible lesson, snack and more! Kids gather for Carol Choir rehearsal with our Associate Director of Music, Martha Reid, during this ministry from 5:30 -6:10 pm. The Carol Choir sings regularly in our Sunday morning Worship service. Dinner is provided for $5.00 per meal. Club 456 is a ministry for 4th, 5th and 6th grade students on Sunday nights from 4:30 to 7:30 PM. Kids are dropped off in the Fellowship Hall, and are picked up in the Music Center. The night is packed full of energetic games, activities, a Bible lessons, small group discussion, music and more! Club 456 Kids gather for JAM Choir rehearsal with our Associate Director of Music, Martha Reid, during this ministry from 6:30 -7:30 pm. The JAM Choir sings regularly in our Sunday morning Worship service. In addition to these opportunities, we also hold our annual Easter Egg Hunt, Children's Christmas Eve Processional, and Trunk or Treat. The Nursery is also available for ages 0-4 Sunday mornings, during Parents Night Out, and on Thursday nights (during adult handbell choir, women's choir, men's choir, and chancel choir practice).

Afterwards, we visited Vampire Pelican, the best shaved ice cream desserts you could imagine! Thanks to all the amazing volunteers, and of course, Pinball Palace for hosting us for the second year in a row!

Step through the mist into Rainforest Falls, overflowing with wild waterfalls, towering trees, and colorful creatures. Beneath a canopy of chattering birds and howling monkeys, kids plunge into a lifelong adventure of discovering the nature of God. They'll explore what it means to be rooted in a relationship with God, their creator, a safe place in life's storms.

Have your kids join us July 20-24th from 7:30AM- 5:30 PM for faith centered activities, fellowship, and field trips to places like Marineland Dolphin Adventure in St. Augustine, Dave & Busters, & Summer Waves Water Park!

Breakfast, lunch, and snacks are included!
