Belong, Grow, and Serve
Why do we gather?
At Oakridge Adventist Church, we’re driven by the belief that everyone deserves to experience the transformative love of Jesus in a welcoming community. We’re more than just a place to worship; we’re a family where every individual is valued and embraced.
Every single day
We are on a Mission
- We will boldly invite people on a journey toward an abundant life in Jesus.
- We will warmly include people by extending God’s love and grace.
- We will intentionally involve people in serving as Jesus did.
Moving toward
A greater Vision
- To be a welcoming community where the transformative love of Jesus is experienced freely by all.
