We do this by teaching people to love, serve, and share Jesus with others through disciple-making.  Wherever you are in the process, we're here to help you grow and share the love of Christ with others. Let us help you take the next steps in the journey to know Christ.

Sunday Service Information

Plan your Visit

At Oakdale, you'll find a place to connect with people driven to go and make disciples. Every Sunday, join us in-person at 9AM & 11AM for worship. We also broadcast our service online at 9:00 and 11:00 a.m. at live.oakdale.church. There is live hosted chat and prayer available during the 9AM service.

 

Sunday Services typically include:

  • a mixture of modern worship songs and hymns all led by the praise band 
  • a time for the congregation to share disciple-making stories about how they responded to God's call in obedience and faith to be spiritually obvious but not spiritually obnoxious as everyday disciple-makers.
  • a bible-based practical message by one our pastors that will call each of us to obedience in the coming week (see current sermon series info below).

You can access sermon notes, the scripture for Sunday morning and upcoming announcements and events by visiting oakdale.church/thisweek or by using your phone to scan the QR code on the pew in front of you in the sanctuary.

Where to Park

Please park in the front parking lot along Georgia Avenue and enter the building through the doors on the front of the church. Ushers will greet you and your family when you arrive at the Georgia Avenue Doors.

What to Wear

You will see everything, from suits and dresses to T-shirts and jeans (even shorts in the summer). Your presence in worship is what honors God. We ask that everyone in your party wears a mask the entire time they are on our campus

Current Sermon Series


This Christmas season we will unpack the series Renovating Christmas. The hope is to reclaim and restore Christmas for today each Sunday morning led by Oakdale's pastors. Come peal back and remove the worldly layers of the season, as we renovate our hearts, and really celebrate the birth of Jesus together this Christmas!
