About Us - Oak Grove Mennonite Church

Dear Searcher for a Church Home,

Oak Grove Mennonite Church is a 150 year old congregation, but don't let
that discourage you! We realized about ten years ago that unless we made an
effort to become relevant to the needs of our youth and contemporary people we
would continue a decline we had been on for a number of years. So we decided to
live. We decided to reverse the decline. We decided to try new things.
It hasn't been easy, but it seems to be working. Instead of declining, we are
thriving.

We have struggled hard to find a mix between the great traditional aspects
of the faith, which our esteemed older persons have valued, and the ever
changing contemporary expressions of the faith that our greatly valued youth
and the contemporary ones around us desire. Although the struggle to find
just the right mix never ceases, we feel we have crafted an exciting and
relevant place to worship. Our attendance continually pushes against
our capacity, and we struggle with defining the next step as more and more
people find Oak Grove an exciting church home.

We worship in a sanctuary which we built (too small, unfortunately) in
1992. We have modern clean rest rooms and nursery facilities and carpeted,
recently remodeled Christian education space. We offer an exciting range of
children's activities including Sunday evening activities for children from
ages three and up including Cubbie Bears, Bible Memory, Junior High
Fellowship and Mennonite Youth Fellowship.

Oak Grove is an exciting place to be. We would welcome you to come and
experience a Sunday morning worship service with us soon. We worship at
9:30 and offer Sunday School to all ages at 10:45. We'll be waiting for you.
