This is Us

We are the church, whether we are gathered or scattered--each one of us, a part of the body of Christ, wherever we go, whatever we do.

So, where can you find us, and what are we doing?

One-on-one, positive attention from caring adults makes all the difference in the life of a child. That's what the Kids Hope USA program at Five Oaks is all about. John, Melissa, and Lara (as well as 24 other adults--27 total) take one hour out of their weeks to go to Woodbury Elementary School and spend time with their students. Each mentor is matched with just one student to create a very special and supportive mentoring relationship. Ask the mentors, most will tell you they receive an equal blessing from these kids.
