What To Expect
Welcome to Oakwood!
Our site will provide some basic information about Oakwood. If you have questions about Oakwood please contact us at office@oakwoodbaptistchurch.com
LOCATION: Oakwood is located in the Oak Grove area of Lexington County near the corner of Mineral Springs Road and Oak Drive. If you visit our church, we have clearly marked entrances on both roads. Click on the Google Maps link for accurate driving directions: maps.google.com/maps.
WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN YOU VISIT: Here are a few things to expect on your visit to Oakwood:
- Our worship style is blended. We use a blend of contemporary and traditional music. We also use video, drama and other elements to emphasize the theme of each Sunday service.
- Our preaching style is relational and applicational. Our pastoral staff teach and preach with a strong emphasis on application to daily life.
- Our dress style is casual. Dress on Sunday mornings will range from very casual (jeans and tees) to a few suits and ties. Casual is great!
- You will be given the opportunity to complete a Visitor Information Card (known at Oakwood as a Green Card) When you are ready to get further information about Oakwood please complete one of these cards and place it in the offering plate or give it to one of the Pastors as you leave the service. Visitors are not asked to raise their hands or stand up so that they might be identified. You can visit with us as often as you wish and when you are ready for more information, let us know.
- Parents will be asked to register their small children. We register all preschool age children for security purposes. Parents will be given a slip with a number that corresponds to the number of their child. We want you to know that your children are secure while you are in Sunday school and worship services.
- Our Bible study approach emphasizes Sunday school. Our primary discipleship time is Sunday school at 9:15 AM on Sunday mornings. We have classes for all ages. We also have classes for men and women together as well as separate. If you visit with us, ask a greeter about Sunday school and they will get you connected with someone who can help you find your Sunday school class.
- Our ministry includes small groups. You can experience deeper community by joining a small group. Small groups are forming. Contact Pastor Larry Scott at lscott@oakwoodbaptistchurch.com
