Whether you've attended church your whole life or never stepped foot in one before, we know it’s not easy visiting a church for the first time. You’re not quite sure what to expect. You probably have a lot of questions. What does a weekend service look like? How should I dress? How long does it last? What about my kids?
Great questions! Here’s some information that should help:
What time is the service? The worship service is on Sunday at 10:00am and lasts approximately one hour. We offer childcare for children birth through 3 years and children ages 4 years old through 1st grade are dismissed for Children's Church right before the message.
How should I dress? At OakHIll we want you to feel comfortable. After all, we are thrilled that you're joining us and we want you to be more focused on who you’re worshiping than what you're wearing. In the summertime, it's not uncommon to see people wearing sandals, shorts, and a t-shirt. Most people dress casual although some prefer to put on their "Sunday best," and that's fine too! We think you'll fit in no matter how you dress.
What are the messages like? The messages or sermons at Oak Hill are intended to communicate God’s Word in a relevant and understandable way. The length of the message is typically about twenty-five minutes and will be a combination of explaining a Bible text, stories and illustrations so that God’s Word touches those attending the worship service. The messages will deliver hope, truth and peace with God.
What about the music? Music and singing is just one of the many ways that we worship. At OakHill, we are led by a team of musicians and vocalists in what we hope is worship that is authentic, creative, Christ centered and glorifying to God. We sing many current worship songs as well as historic hymns.
Will I be asked to give money? We do take a weekly offering as part of our worship service. But as a guest, please do not feel any obligation to give. We believe giving is an act of worship for those who call Oak Hill their church home. Consistent and generous giving should be a natural response to God’s gracious gifts.
