Lois Evans was the embodiment of a wise woman who built her house. She prioritized her family and home above everything in all her endeavors and accomplishments outside the home. Lois maximized her gifts, skills, and calling for the benefit of her family, the good of others, and most importantly, for the glory of God.
Lois’ faithful, loving and sacrificial commitment to her husband, Dr. Tony Evans, and her children, established the foundation for all God has achieved in and through them. She placed many of her dreams, desires and educational pursuits on hold to free her husband to study, teach, write and counsel. Lois birthed extraordinarily gifted children and cultivated their skills into adulthood. What she implanted in her husband and children will continue to impact our church, community and country for generations to come.

Having younger children with older children disrupts staffing ratios, can be more stressful for the younger child, and is generally inappropriate for care. When able, we accommodate the wishes of the parent/guardian when the request does not disrupt the overall program.
We have developed a thorough, multi-level security process designed to ensure a seamless and controlled transition of custody from family to caregiver and back to family. The process includes registration, check-in, group assignment by ratio, and a two-adult supervision rule at all times. There is also a security presence throughout all locations when children are in our care.
For the safety of children attending the conference, it is the policy of OCBF that the adult who checks the child in must be the one who checks the child out. If the parent or guardian cannot be reached via text or a phone call, a team member will notify DFJ Conference personnel.
All NextGen Kids team members are screened through the process of a background check, as well as safety training.
Please be aware that there will be no childcare provided on Friday evening. A NextGen Kids team member will assist with the check-in process on Saturday morning beginning at 8:00 am. You will receive two printed labels at check-in: the child’s nametag and one pick-up tag for the parent or guardian.
Parents are welcome to help their children settle in if they become anxious. If a child continues to be anxious after you leave, a NextGen Kids Team member will immediately attend to your child.
If your child becomes ill or injured while in our care, you will be contacted immediately by the NextGen Ministry medical team or NextGen staff representative.
If your child needs you during the conference for any reason, we will send you a text message.
Parents are asked to provide a small bag with anything their child will need during their visit with us. All items, including bottles, pacifiers, clothes, blankets, etc. should be labeled.
Yes, children will receive breakfast, lunch, and a snack.
Yes! Please indicate any dietary restrictions/food allergies on your child’s registration, and we will work to ensure that food options are available to meet your child’s needs.
For more information, please contact Cynthia Dixson at cdixson@ocbfchurch.org. Our goal is to ensure that parents are confident leaving their children in the care of the NextGen Kids team.
