Children's Ministry

Children's Church

We have Children's Church every Sunday morning beginning at 11:00 a.m. This fun, uplifting, lively time of worship is led by Mrs. Riya Paresh. Riya is a highly educated scientist. She is very creative and talented, and she is committed to sharing Christ with all of the children who participate in Children's Church. Parents, encourage your child to attend Children's Church this Sunday!

Backpack Ministry

Every August, Oxford United Methodist Church sponsors backpacks filled with school supplies for the children of McDermott Elementary School. McDermott gives Oxford United Methodist Church a list of much needed school supplies that will be needed by their children, and our Backpack Ministry team takes it from there! The team seeks out donations from the community and the church, orders the supplies, then fills hundreds of backpacks. Oxford UMC is blessed each year when the backpacks are delivered to McDermott knowing we have filled a great need for these children.

Vacation Bible School

In the Summer months, Oxford hosts and annual Vacation Bible School. Children enjoy music, snacks, crafts, science, and active play as they learn about Christ!

Mother's Day Out

Oxford's Mother's Day Out (MDO) program is open to care for and educate young children from ages 30 months to 5 years. Our MDO program follows the NISD school calendar for open/close dates.
