FAQ's
1. What are the worship services like?
We work hard to make sure every weekend service is creative and relevant to your life. When you drive into a campus, a parking attendant will direct you to a parking spot. If it is your first time with us, simply turn on your blinkers and you will be directed to a special and convenient parking area reserved just for you.
A greeter will welcome you at the door. If you need help finding our nursery or kid's service they will help you find your way.
Our music team will begin the service with contemporary music that is inspiring to the soul. Our Pastor will talk about an issue that is relevant today and what the Bible says about dealing with that issue. Click here for the service times and directions.>>

5. Will I have to say anything, sign anything, give anything, or be singled out in any way?
If you are visiting, we do not ask you to give a dime when we pass the offering plate. We will not make you wear a visitor badge or stand up so that everyone can see you. We would like you to fill out a care and communication card so that we can assist you in your visit at The Oaks. You will also be invited to attend a First Time Visitors reception after the worship service in the Connections Room located in the Concourse. At this reception you will receive a gift and be able to meet some of the leaders of our church.

10. How do I get connected?
Coming to a large church, for some people, is a bit overwhelming. There are so many people, so many options, and so many ministries and small groups to be a part of. How in the world is anyone supposed to make sense of it all? At The Oaks, we have a small group that is designed for people who are new to our church to help bring some order to this overwhelming adventure. Every first, Sunday evening of each month (excluding June and December) at 6 pm in the Concourse of the Main Auditorium, we have a small group setting that is specifically designed for people who are new to our church. We talk about our history as a church, what we believe, and how we do church. By coming to this small group, you are able to meet some of the key leaders and staff pastors of our church, and you have the opportunity to meet some of the other new people as well. One of our pastors will take you on a tour of our facilities so you have a good idea where everything is located. We will help you get connected to a small group that will provide a lasting atmosphere of relationship and discipleship. Through this small group, we want to help you become connected in real relationships with people who can help you become a fully devoted follower of Christ.
