common questions
Why should I come to The Oaks Baptist Church?
The Oaks Baptist proclaims a message of grace, love and hope not only for Toombs County, but for Southeast Georgia. You should experience our worship and community to see what church really can be like.
When are your worship services?
We have our worship service on Sunday morning at 10:55.
What is the worship style?
We are a traditional Baptist church with hymns, an organ, and a choir anthem. We believe that uniting around a traditional worship service brings harmony to who we are and who we serve.
What is our theological stance?
We believe God is supremely known through Jesus Christ who is Lord of the church.
We want all people to worship with us. We believe that through Jesus Christ, men and women are called of God not only to the ministry, but in service to our church. We ordain women, trusting that we are following God's plan for who God wants us to be.
Furthermore, we cling to the historical Baptist principles of Religious Liberty, Soul Freedom, and Local Church Autonomy.
Do you have activities for children?
Our children's program (from birth to 5th grade) offers rich Bible study and our children have fun in a safe environment with our volunteers.
There are several Sunday Schools taught by competent teachers in an age appropriate setting.
During the Sunday morning worship service at 10:55, we offer children's church for children birth through 2nd grade.
We are very conscious of our children's safety. We have multiple volunteers in our nursery rooms who have passed a background check.
Do you have activities other than Sunday school for youth?
In addition to our normal Sunday school hour, the student program offers many more activities. Students from 6th grade to 12th go on a variety of trips to grow in faith and in community. They regularly lead the church in worship and participate in community activities to benefit our county. Each Sunday night and Wednesday night, our youth have a time of bible study, prayer, music, and fun.
How do I join The Oaks Baptist Church?
You can join in several ways. You may profess your faith in Jesus Christ, you may join by transfer of letter from another Baptist church or by statement from another denomination. For further information, contact our church office.
