Responding to Jesus

BEING THE CHURCH

Here at Oaks Church, we understand there are more ways to follow Jesus than just going to church. We also know that attending church can help you discover more about Jesus, his word, and new ways to follow him.

Following Jesus and becoming his disciples are key to living life to the fullest.

That’s why we don’t play church; we are the church.

JESUS

Jesus was a man. Jesus said he was God.

At Oaks Church, we believe Jesus is God, and that belief changes us. Everything we do is about following Jesus, with the hope that our everyday lives point to him. From life at home with our families to time spent at church or with our small groups to where we spend our days at school and jobs, we live by reordering our lives and priorities around Jesus.

TOGETHER

Are you a screw up? A sinner? Struggle with feelings of exhaustion and defeat? Sometimes so do we.

We’re not dreary or depressed people, but we’re honest; we live real lives and have real struggles. Life can sometimes feel like death, but in Jesus, God rescues us from these dead lives. So the pressure’s off because God does the lasting work. 

Come as you are. No matter who you are or where you are, we’ll accept you just as God has accepted us, and we’ll challenge you to follow God your whole life.

DISCIPLES

A disciple is just a fancy word for someone who has said, “Jesus, I’m following you. I’ll listen to you and live like you.”

But following Jesus isn’t just another little choice. It’s a big decision, a whole life change. When we experience Jesus and encounter him in our lives, it’s difficult not to change everything to follow him.

At Oaks Church, we want to help you do just that, following this simple recipe:

  • Connect with God and others,

  • Deepen your relationship with God, and

  • Impact the world around you.

THE BIBLE

We believe the Bible is God’s Word to his people. The Holy Spirit speaks to us through the Scriptures, revealing Jesus to us.

We use the Scriptures throughout our services. From the messages and teaching to worship and the songs we sing, even our prayers are based on God’s Word. Our sermons aren’t just quick tips, but a deeper look at how we can live more worshipful lives.
