Master's Hands Puppet Team
5th - 7th Grades

"Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men" Colossians 3:23 (NIV)

Puppet and drama skits are some of the most effective tools for reaching children and families with the Gospel.  The Master's Hands Puppet Team is a drama/puppet ministry made up of children in the 5th, 6th, or 7th grade.  Many unique opportunities for ministry are available to puppeteers, as puppets can open doors to unexpected and surprising venues for sharing God's Word.

Our current team of 22 kids have performed for our Children's Church, Preschool Ministry children, the Choctaw community during our annual Hallelujah Night, and recently we taught a puppet class at an Arts Camp in a Midwest City church.  We have attended several puppet festivals and received a gold medal at a puppet competition last fall.  We rehearse weekly on Sunday nights from 6-8 p.m. at our West Campus location.

We believe that this ministry can teach middle-schoolers that they are NOT too young to have a ministry of their own.  Check out some pictures from our recent activities.
