Ministries
Faith grows in community.
At Overland Park Christian Church, ministry is about learning together, building relationships, sharing our gifts, and making space for people of every age to grow in faith.
Whether you're looking for a place for your children, opportunities for youth, meaningful connections with other adults, or a way to share your musical and creative gifts, you're invited to find your place in the life of OPCC.
Children Belong Here
Children are an important part of the OPCC family. We want children to know God's love not only through what they are taught, but through experiencing a community where they are welcomed, included, and encouraged to wonder, learn, worship, and grow.
Sunday Morning
Children Worship & Wonder
Children ages 3 and older are invited to Children Worship & Wonder year-round. Children begin the 10:30 a.m. Sunday worship service with the congregation and are invited to Worship & Wonder following communion.
Nursery
Our nursery is open Sunday mornings from 10 a.m.–noon for parents and caregivers to use with their children. While the nursery is not regularly staffed at this time, families planning to attend who need nursery care are encouraged to contact the church office ahead of their visit.
Children & Family Activities
Children & Family Activities
Throughout the year, children and families have opportunities to learn, play, and grow together, including Vacation Bible School and other special activities.
Children and families can also participate in camp and retreat experiences offered through the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), with opportunities for children, youth, families, and grandparents.

Youth
A Place to Grow, Question & Connect
Young people need space to build relationships, explore their faith, ask honest questions, and discover how faith connects with everyday life. OPCC is committed to creating that kind of community for youth.
Our high-school Youth Ministry is currently being reorganized as we develop new opportunities for young people to gather and grow together. Families interested in youth programming are encouraged to contact the church office for the latest information and upcoming opportunities.
Youth can also participate in regional Disciples camp and retreat experiences throughout the year.

Looking for Ways to Serve?
Ministry doesn't stop inside the church. OPCC also connects people with opportunities to serve our neighbors, support community partners, participate in mission, and give toward work that makes a difference.
