Welcome to the Oak Hills Church Youth News

Greetings and Welcome, This is my fair attempt to effectively inform the parents and families of the Oak Hills community of all that is happening in the Youth Ministry program at Oak Hills Church. Every event will be posted on this blog. After it first appears on the blog it will receive a label (i.e. High School Youth, Kids' Club etc.). There will be a list of all four youth group labels on the right upper hand corner. You can periodically click on this link if you think you missed information. I will also have a section for Youth Leaders (including the youth committee). Finally, there will be a section for information regarding Youth Culture and Parenting which will contain information about upcoming seminars and recent news. The advantage to having this blog is you can check it at your leisure,day and night. I will make sure it is updated on a regular basis. If you have any immediate questions you can leave a comment after the blog entry connected with your question. Please contact me at curtish@oakhills-church.org if you have any more questions or comments.
