Serving is a powerful way to live out your faith and make a meaningful impact on people. Whether through working with kids, teaching, music, hospitality, or prayer, each person's unique talents can strengthen our church’s mission and help build a supportive environment for others to thrive. Serving with a humble heart and a willingness to share what you’ve been given reflects Christ’s love and encourages spiritual growth in both you and others. It also allows opportunities to build deeper relationships, foster a spirit of unity, and contribute to the church's mission of Growing a Great Family.... Grounded in Faith, Guided by Grace and Going in Love! By offering your God-given gifts and abilities, you not only help others and the church but also experience personal growth and fulfillment, knowing you are part of something greater than yourself.
Whether you want to welcome guests, build into the next generation of students, help kids get to know Jesus, work with technology, or work behind the scenes, there is a ministry team for you. We also have opportunities to reach out and serve in our community. Scroll through the list of ministries and use the Serve at Oakwood link below to let us know what ministry you would like to serve in and we will contact you.
