CHILDREN'S MINISTRY

 

"God's Little Oak Warriors"
Ages 6 weeks - 10 years

Our children’s ministry team is committed to providing our parents with a safe, loving, enriching, Christian environment to leave their children, while they participate in adult worship. Our children are nurtured in such a way that their knowledge of and love for Christ grows into a mature faith. Parents can rest assured that their child will learn to navigate and understand the Bible. The child will know what it means to be a follower of Jesus Christ. The “I Want to Be on the Big God Team” booklet will help the parent(s) and child to learn more about Jesus. The booklet will confirm that the child is ready to become one of “God’s Little Oak Warriors.” Pastor ‘Turnip’ Green’s comical style, as you can tell by his assigned name, truly proves he’s a big kid at heart. It is comforting to know that our children are safe and most of all learning and growing in Jesus Christ with joy and enthusiasm.

"Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of Heaven."  ~Matt. 19:14

 

YOUTH MINISTRY

 

"Making Disciples...One Youth At A Time"
Ages 11 - 18 years

We owe our youth more than a bible, a song and a prayer – we must help develop their characters and assist in winning their lost souls to Christ.  W.O.W. (Wide Open Worship) is just a small instrument we use to deepen student relationships with Christ, to allow them to express their talents and spiritual gifts, in order to offer biblical responses to their difficult life choices. 

“For I know the plans I have for you”, declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future”.  ~Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV)

 

PULSE HEALTH MINISTRY

 

Pulse Health Ministry.  Our experienced certified nurses provide a culture of wellness that assist with keeping our physical body (God’s temple) in a good healthy form.  The Pulse actively offers basic wellness service, advice and pertinent information regarding the inner and outer person’s health concerns.

I pray above all things that you may prosper and be in good health… 3 John 2

 

COMMUNITY ACTION MINISTRY

 

This very rewarding ministry promotes summer internship employment for our youth by partnering up with several government and private sector companies. The emphasis is that Oak Spring employs the youth and the businesses receives the service, while the student absorbs the knowledge, the skill and the career experience.

Direct your children onto the right path, and when they are older, they will not leave it.    ~Psalm 22:6 (NLT)

 

MUSIC MINISTRY

 

We pray for God’s anointing over our instruments and our voices to usher in the Holy Spirit through music and song each time we sing. Desiring that God gets the Glory, we worship Him in spirit and in truth.

“I will sing of the mercies of the Lord forever; with my mouth I will make known Thy faithfulness to all generations.  ~Psalm 89:1 

 

SENIOR & RETIREE MINISTRY

 

This beautiful ministry gives warning against enticement; propose godly advice, direction and wisdom to more youthful partners when and/or if the need occurs.

Listen, my son to your father’s instruction and don’t forsake your mother’s teaching... ~Proverbs 1:8 (NIV)


 

GREETER•HOSPITALITY•USHER

 

These particular ministries are full of eager volunteers, who are organized with friendliness.  Focuses on the needs of all who enter the doors, smiling, embracing individuals, and offering a Christian hug. Also, demonstrating a willing heart to serve and accommodating the nutriment of everyone. Their charge is to serve with enthusiasm and care, imitating Christ’s humility, while giving directions and catering to the needs of the congregation.

Whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men. ~Colossians 3:23

 

SECURITY MINISTRY

 

As a growing congregation we had to accept the realization of the unfair ways of the world by being mindful and watchful of people, traffic and the way finance was being transitioned. This prompted us to incorporate a security ministry that is licensed, bonded, highly trained and armed.  In addition, we broadened protection by adding inside & outside HD recording video cameras.

 

MEDIA MINISTRY

 

This dedicated ministry’s mission is to minister God’s message through every available aspect of multi-media. The media ministry is not for the faint of heart or timid in spirit. It requires commitment, an eye for detail, an ear for perfect sound, an understanding of equipment from analog to digital, and an intricate attention to detail. We desire to provide multi-media that is worthy of the true worship of Jesus Christ. 

“Record the Vision” ~Habakkuk 2:2
