Welcome to Seven Oaks
Presbyterian Church
Worshipping God each week is the spiritual practice that keeps our lives focused. If you have felt that you have not been as close to God as you need to be, please consider making weekly worship a priority. It is difficult to train ourselves to see people and events as God sees them without God’s help. Worship at Seven Oaks Presbyterian Church is traditional, yet relaxed. At 11:00am on Sundays, we offer both in person worship as well as live streaming. Nice, casual dress is the norm for Sunday worship. There will be a message for the Children each Sunday during worship. Children, ages 4 and up are invited to stay in the sanctuary with their parents in a "Children’s Corner" especially for them. Our Youth group has joined forces wth two other neaby churches and enjoy trips and activities together. We have two active and inquisitive Aduult Sunday School classes, and of course so many other activties that you can find out about by exploring these pages. If you desire to interact with us, press the "Plan Your Visit" button.
