What to Expect on Sundays at Oak Hill

Sunday mornings at Oak Hill are an uplifting & worshipful time. The services are aimed toward the glory and pleasure of God while intending to equip believers with a better understanding, appreciation and motivation towards the supremacy of God.
Our service meets at 9:00. After the service you are invited to a fellowship time. Then, at 11:00, is our School of Discipleship hour. Children’s classes and nursery are offered during our worship service and at 11:00.

| As a church we are multi-generational, yet relatively young with a median age in the thirties. The dress on Sunday morning leans toward business casual; however, on any given Sunday you will see folks wearing anything from shorts to suits. The average attendance at our worship service is roughly 60 adults at the present time.
One of the great characteristics of Oak Hill has been the welcoming of visitors. With the church growing it is encouraging to see this trend continuing. Getting to know each other is important to us, so we take a few minutes to meet and greet one another during our worship service. This is a great time to get to introduce yourself to a few people so you can continue a conversation in our fellowship time following the service. |

| Music is an important and engaging element of our worship gatherings. Our style is modern, using a team to lead the congregation in "lifting high the name of Jesus" during our time of praise. Throughout this portion of the gathering we also read scripture, pray together and seek to respond to God in ways he has commanded. It is our aim to select music that celebrates the character and work of God, and we seek to go on a journey every Sunday from wherever you are to a place of total ascription of the glory of God through song. Therefore, our lyrics are carefully reviewed and often times rewritten in order to sing consistently with what God has revealed. During this time we hope to get our eyes off ourselvesand focus on the One for whom we were created: our God eternal. |

| Preaching is another key aspect of our worship gathering, and we devote much time to it there. It is in this time that we receive instruction from God through His written Word. The pulpit ministry of Oak Hill is an expositional ministry, meaning that the preacher is committed to drawing out the author's intended meaning from the text of the Bible, making it simple, clear and practical in its application. Sermons typically last 50 minutes and are a highlight of our time together. You can download previous sermons on our media page, or look for us on iTunes. |

| Following the sermon we pray for application in our lives and usually respond in a song. After we leave the auditorium it is typical for people to congregate together for extended periods talking about God, life, ministry and everything in between, all over a cup of coffee or lemonade! Then many of us join back together for another hour of studying God's Word in our School of Discipleship at 11am (which is more interractive in nature) before we go home sometime shortly after 12pm. There are classes for all ages of kids during this hour, and we would invite your whole family to join us during this time! |
