Final call: Join us for baptisms!
We’re celebrating baptisms with brunch on November 22 at Oltman! Invite your friends, family, and neighbors to join us for a morning of worship and good food. Pancakes will be provided, but our brunch won’t be complete without your help! Please dress in layers as the pool area is VERY humid and hot. Register and sign up to bring a potluck brunch item here.
Christmas with Oaks Kids
Christmas is coming, and this is one time of year when we see many more visitors and first-time guests than usual. Help us make our visitors feel welcomed and expected by signing up to serve at one of our two Christmas Eve services. Email Kayleigh Allred if you're interested in serving.
Fall Worship Night
One of the highlights at youth group is our time of worship. Students share that they appreciate how powerfully the Holy Spirit moves through music, and worshiping God shoulder-to-shoulder with their friends and leaders is a key aspect of growth and community. Your students won’t want to miss Fall Worship Night on Wednesday, November 18! Our schedule will stay the same (MS 6-8 pm; HS 7-9 pm). Come ready to pray, sing, and point your hearts and lives to God! Questions? Email Mindy Wissink, mwissink@fiveoakschurch.org.
Save the date: Kids Christmas Choir - December 20
As we celebrate the birth of Jesus, Oaks Kids (ages 3 and up) will share a special Christmas song during our Sunday service on December 20! (We’ll have a brief stage rehearsal after service on December 13.) Mark your calendars for a special morning of celebrating Jesus together! For more information or if you have questions, email Kayleigh Allred.
Discover Oaks this Sunday!
Finding a new church can take time, but your next step doesn’t have to be complicated. Discover Oaks is a relaxed way to meet our pastor and staff, connect with others who are new, and ask whatever questions you have – all over a free lunch. Childcare is provided, too! Can’t make it on Sunday? No worries – we’ll offer Discover Oaks again.

High schoolers: Register now for Deepen
Life is loud, and it’s easy for students to get distracted. Deepen, January 15-17, 2027, is a weekend retreat where high schoolers can step away from the noise, dive into God’s Word, and learn rhythms that build a lasting faith. With teaching, spiritual practices, camp activities and outdoor fun, plus our leaders guiding the way, this weekend will deepen students’ foundation for walking with Jesus. Details and registration for Deepen are available here. Questions? Email Cody Baader.

More details are coming, but for now, save the date!
