Weekend of December 28
Find your place
Life’s better in community, and it’s much better when you’re growing in your faith with others. As our church continues to grow, the new year is the perfect time to find your people and grow closer to God. The two best ways to start building community are by joining a small group or finding a place to serve. Small groups meet in homes a couple of times a month to share meals, talk about Scripture, pray together, and build real friendships. Serving is another way to start building real connections with others at church. If you’re new around here, we’d love to help you get connected. Email Henry Michael to get started.
Kids, join us for fun in your Christmas jammies!
We invite all kids to join us on December 28 for a Cozy Christmas in Oaks Kids as we wear our favorite Christmas jammies, watch a movie, and eat snacks to continue the Christmas celebration!
New year. New rhythms. Big impact.
Start 2026 by joining the Oaks Kids team and help kids grow in their faith. Our volunteers create a safe, fun space for kids to learn about Jesus—and there’s a place for you on the team! If you’re interested, start by emailing Kayleigh Allred.
