EMBRACE ONE ANOTHER 

It is the goal of Oak City Church to provide environments for people to embrace one another in love and community in this age of limited interaction and a desire for authentic community. Authentic mission focused communities that meet around varying interest and stages of life will be the life blood of Oak City.

“Day by day continuing with one mind in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they were taking their meals together with gladness and sincerity of heart”( Acts 2:46 NASB)

It is in these mission focused groups that people can get close enough to know each other in deeper meaningful ways expressing the love of God one for another as we grow as disciples. We believe that we were not made to live in isolation and a vital part of being built up is to do it in community while discovering what your life purpose is and what impact you will have.

34 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you, that you also love one another. 35 By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.” (John 13:34-35 NASB)

At Oak City we believe in engaging the world we live as Jesus did. Jesus demonstrates to his followers consistently by showing them how he brought healing to the sick, fed the hungry and caring for the poor all while demonstrating compassion. All of these acts were fueled by the love he encouraged us to have one for another.

We will partner with organizations that currently build people within the community through the services they currently provide. Engaging the world around us through local and international efforts will be at the center of what we do at Oak City! As people who are equipped and walking out their purpose we are driven to make an impact and influence life-change!

“Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God’s grace in its various forms.” 1 Peter 4:10

The great commission is clear, make disciples, and that is central to what we do at Oak City! We believe the more disciples we make that make disciples, who make disciples, you get it! This will require more homes for more families and new disciples to connect with others to be built up, discover purpose to impact change.

Our faith community will continually come together to connect, celebrate, and be equipped to go back and engage the world we all live in and sharing the good news. Missional discipleship is the lifeblood of the church and expanding the kingdom of God here on earth, this is our passion and purpose.

“Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.” (Mathew 28:19 NASB)

We love and honor all people

We are learners and seek opportunities to grow, as we are guided by our faith and fueled by the Holy Spirit.

We care for one another and our community as we live out our faith

We lead the way in discipleship, worship, celebration and generosity
