What an amazing year 2023 has been. We have seen kingdom breakthroughs, answers to prayer, trials turned into gold, Jesus received as Lord and Savior, people restored and healed in their family relationships and healed emotionally and physically, children and teens growing as disciples of Christ, dozens discipled through our Eight Habits discipleship course and baptized in water, many freed through our Soul Care classes and filled with the Holy Spirit at our Rivers Retreats, over 100 people growing through participation in our Community Groups, the miraculous birth of The Oaks Indian Community Church, family members called to the mission field and serving with our international workers overseas, and tens of thousands of dollars sent to support 700 Alliance workers in 70 countries as they proclaim Jesus is the Answer! Glory to God for all that He has done through His church at The Oaks!!

As we enter 2024, we invite you to jump into 40 days of prayer with an emphasis on NOW. It is time to fully pursue God’s will for our lives RIGHT NOW in this new year. Our staff will be sharing with you many opportunities about spiritual growth and spiritual health for yourself and your family. As your pastor, I want to urge you to step out in faith and courage and fully engage in following Jesus as Lord in this new year.

This Sunday, December 31 at 10 AM, I have an important message for you that will help you enter the new year awake and ready to pursue God‘s plan for your life. We will have family communion, and following the service we will pray for every individual and family that would like to receive a blessing as they enter 2024.

NOW IS THE TIME! Pastor Gary

PS, I want to thank everyone for praying for the health of our church finances. As a family, our operational expenses for our facility, our staff, our programs, and our service to the community amounts to $82,500 per month. At this present moment, we need $63,000 to finish the year in the black with our expenses. Thank you for your generous giving this last year. As God has blessed you and resourced you, would you ask Him how He would have you to participate in helping to meet this remaining need as we finish 2023? As God leads you, you can press the give button to make a year end donation. Thank you!
