About Our Church

WHAT WE BELIEVE - Oak Grove is an
independent Christian Church that seeks to be true
to the Bible. Our requirements for membership are
identical to those of the original church described
in the New Testament:
Faith - Believe that Jesus Christ is God's Son and
that He died on the cross and rose from the grave
to save you from your sins and give you the gift of
eternal life.
Repentance - Sincerely desire to turn away from
anything that displeases God and live according to
His word and His will.
Confession - Openly declare your faith in Jesus
Christ.
Baptism - Identify yourself with the death, burial,
and resurrection of Jesus by being baptized in His
name. (We practice the original biblical form of
baptism, which is immersion).

The Invitation - At the close of each service,
during our invitation song, we invite those wishing
to join our church family to come forward and
greet the Elder. We will ask you to make a simple
affirmation of your faith by answering the
question: "Do you believe that Jesus is the Christ,
the Son of the Living God?" If you are already an
immersed believer, you will immediately be
received as a member.

Your Baptism - If you desire to be baptized,
someone will escort you to a changing room and
assist in preparing for your baptism. We are
always ready to administer baptism at any of our
services. Everything you will need is already here;
no prior notice is necessary. We can also schedule
your baptism for a time other than one of our
regular worship services if you wish. Baptism is a
very personal step of faith. Please feel free to ask
one of our ministers or elders about any concerns
you may have.

Answering Your Questions - Our ministers and
elders are available to answer any questions you
may have about church membership or becoming
a Christian. Wherever you are in your spiritual
journey, we would love to welcome you into our
church. It is our sincere hope that you will find this
a warm and caring church family, desiring to share
God's joy with others.
