Children's Ministry Directors are Bob and Kate Hutchinson. They have been at Oakwood since 2001 and have three children. Bob will graduate from Crown College in 2008 and Kate graduated from Crown College in 2002. Their desire and passion is that God would raise up the next generation to come to treasure Jesus Christ above all else (Col. 1:15-20), and that people of all ages would be equipped to fervently live out the Great Commission so that all the nations and tribes and people would sing of the worthiness of Christ (Rev. 5:9-10). Acts 20:24 says, "I do not count my life any value nor as precious to myself, if only I may finish my course and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the Gospel of the grace of God."
