The Mission
The mission of Great Oaks Fellowship is to say yes to Jesus in every area of our lives. Our mission is carried out through our strategy:
- Connect-Get connected. We all have the opportunity to exchange our lives for the life of Christ.
- Community-Engage in community. We aren't meant to face life's challenges and celebrate life's joys on our own — we need each other.
- Calling-Pursue your calling. All of us have a part to play in the story God is telling.
The Vision
Great Oak Fellowship's influence is realized through exchanged lives, baptisms, student ministry, kids' ministry, adult ministries, life groups, and local and global missions. Great Oaks' staff and members are committed to a comfortable, lifestyle evangelism—an ongoing pursuit of saying yes to Jesus in every area of our lives.
