St. Luke's Church of the Nazarene

At St. Luke’s Church of the Nazarene in Ponca City, OK, the children's ministry area has undergone an extraordinary transformation, inviting kids and families to travel back to biblical times. This immersive environment brings the stories of the Bible to life with interactive elements, detailed murals, and sculpted 3D props that captivate the imagination and teach timeless lessons.

A Welcoming Entrance

The journey begins with an impressive sculpted 3D sign that sets the stage for what's inside. It captures attention from the moment you arrive, drawing visitors into a world of faith and adventure. This bold statement piece perfectly reflects the vibrant, hands-on experience waiting just beyond the door.

Where Faith Meets Fun

The Noah’s Ark-themed nursery is truly something special. Along with charming murals that depict animals and the iconic Ark, kids can explore a unique bird's nest structure—designed to be both fun and functional. This clever crawl-thru feature doubles as a shoe cubby, providing a playful twist on storage. Nearby, a "bubbling" bathtub for critters adds an extra touch of whimsy and invites little ones to engage with the environment in creative ways.

The Bible Times Market

The main children's ministry area has been transformed from a traditional sanctuary space into a bustling Bible times market. The centerpiece? A stunning Bible-era boat moored at the dock, complete with cargo nets, slides, and plenty of spaces for climbing, exploring, and imagining. Kids can clamber over and through the boat, experiencing a hands-on adventure that brings them closer to the stories they hear during their lessons.

The market scene features detailed 2D and 3D relief props, along with biblical wallcoverings that recreate the atmosphere of the Holy Land. It's an engaging space where children can dive into biblical history, whether they’re playing in the market or navigating the boat’s intricate structure.

Bringing Stories to Life

This project at St. Luke’s Church of the Nazarene goes above and beyond to create an experience that transports visitors into the heart of Bible stories.  This reimagined space provides a dynamic setting for kids to engage with their faith in ways that feel fresh, exciting, and deeply meaningful. Themed environments like this make learning fun while fostering a sense of connection to the stories and teachings that have shaped faith for generations.
