About Us

We are a diverse group of people who seek to follow Jesus Christ through worship, study and service to the community. We are more concerned about doing something important for the Kingdom of God than about being someone important.

We are mission minded and community-oriented. We are authentic but not perfect.

WHAT WE BELIEVE

In its confessions, the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) upholds the affirmations of the Protestant Reformation. The focus of these affirmations is God's grace in Jesus Christ as revealed in the Scriptures. The Protestant watchwords - grace alone, faith alone, Scripture alone - embody principles of understanding that continue to guide and motivate the people of God in the life of faith.

In its confessions, the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) expresses the faith of the Reformed tradition. Central to this tradition is the affirmation of the majesty, holiness, and providence of God who in Christ and by the power of the Spirit creates, sustains, rules and redeems the world in the freedom of sovereign righteousness and love. There are many other great themes of the reformed tradition as well as new
opportunities for spiritual growth as you interact with ourcommunity of faith.

OUR MINISTRIES

Seven Oaks Presbyterian Church is convinced that faith grows by doing. We are committed to helping you find ways to serve God that helps your faith grow.

Seven Oaks has small interest groups throughout the year. Through small groups, relationships are formed with other members that you may not otherwise have the opportunity to spend time with. This past year (2023-24) we had small groups in the fall, late winter, and during Lent. These groups last from 4 – 8 weeks and sometimes longer. You are expected to commit to the group and come as often as you are able.

Some of our past small groups are as follows: Bible Studies, Book Studies, Small Town Adventures, Walking Club, “The Chosen” series, Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron, Painting classes, Home Improvement Demonstrations, Gardening and Home Town Sunday Dinners– to name a few.

Sign-ups are at the church before worship or other events, and online.
