A Unified Vision for the Year Ahead
Each year, we come together to stretch our faith by giving above and beyond in support of all we’re believing God for in this next season.
As a church family, we are stepping into an exciting season of growth, discipleship, and ministry impact. We believe God is calling us to strengthen our environments for every generation and expand our reach even further.
Just as a mighty oak grows from deep, healthy roots, we want to create spaces where faith can take root and flourish- from our youngest children to our adults in worship each week.
Our One-Year Giving Goal: $600,000
This goal allows us to invest in key areas that directly impact Kids, Students, and our WorshipArts Ministry- enhancing the worship and discipleship experience across our church.
Your gift will be given towards our general operating fund that is used to finance the ongoing operations of the church.
As the Lord leads, we ask you to give above and beyond regular tithes and offerings to support Rooted. All gifts given above and beyond will be designated for the Rooted Fund.
Missions First
Missions: As a church committed to reaching the world around us, 10% of all given (up to $60,000) will go directly to Missions, supporting ministry beyond our walls.
Where the Resources Will Go
Your generosity will strengthen the next generation of believers and enhance our worship environment for years to come.
Oakwood Kids
- Renovation of meeting spaces
- New safety and check-in system
- Updated curriculum and small group materials
These improvements will help us create safe, engaging, Bible-centered environments where children can grow strong in their faith.
Oakwood Students
- Scholarships for camps and retreats (Passion Camp: $525 per person, Bus Rental: $10,000)
- Upgrading worship/ teaching space (carpet, paint, sound panels)
- New seating, lighting, and sound equipment
This investment ensures that students have spaces where they can worship passionately, learn deeply, and build community.
WorshipArts Ministry
- New microphones, cables, and in-ear monitors
- Live-streaming cameras and lighting enhancements
- Stage design and environment upgrades
- New Sound System (the current system is 25 years old)
These improvements will enhance excellence in worship and provide a better experience for both in-person and online services.
How We Will Move Forward
We will take on each project as God provides, exercising wisdom, stewardship, and accountability with each decision. This is a shared journey- one that requires prayer, unity, and consistent generosity from all of us. Together, we are building spaces that strengthen families, disciple the next generation, and create room for God to move in powerful ways.
Join Us in the Vision
We ask each family to pray, seek God's direction, and participate as He leads. Every gift- large or small- moves the mission forward.
