Oakwood Community Church

This is my home church. I've looked far and wide and this is the closest I've found to what a church should be. The north American church model can be found on almost any street corner and that's not what I was looking for. The same old thing doesn't challenge me, help me to grow, and make an impact in the community as it's primary role. This place does all those things and does them well. The Sunday message is given by a rotating group as well as guest speakers. In my opinion this is necessary so that no one gets a big head and has a great fall like we've seen so many times before. Most churches are churches WITH small groups, Oakwood is a church OF small groups. They're focus is outward, growing the universal body of Christ. Not inward, growing the number of attendees. When was the last time you heard a pastor more concerned with spreading the gospel and making disciples (who then go and make other disciples who start their own church) than growing their own numbers?? That's why I'm here.

A great church...😊 Love the community atmosphere while receiving spiritual enrichment. Great for the family and children!!!

Pastor Darin is the best. I am grateful for his sense of humor and also for his thought provoking sermons. As for the church, it feels like home. ❤

Just a great church! Pastor Darin is simply the greatest! We really loved the "TRUNK OR TREAT" they have as an alternative to the kids going TRICK OR TREATING! Thanks!

If you are looking to learn more about who God is or deepen your faith in Him, this is the place. Whether you are a Christian or not, everyone is very friendly and welcoming.
