Our Vision and Mission

Mt. Oak’s Vision Statement
Living as disciples of Jesus Christ!

Mt. Oak’s Mission Statement
Introducing people to Jesus Christ
Developing relationships in Jesus Christ
Making mature disciples of Jesus Christ

Mt. Oak’s Strategy
Being inviting and welcoming (foyer)
Being intentional about growing disciples (living room)
Being a servant of Jesus Christ (kitchen)

We will have an intentional strategy to move people from the foyer to the living room to the kitchen in their Christian Development. Every ministry we support with resources of time, talent and money will have to be a step to help someone move from a non-believer/visitor to the place of being a believer to the place of being a Disciple of Jesus and a servant leader.

Events are merely opportunities to target one step! Few if any events will concentrate on more than one step. We should not try to mix steps if at all possible.

Too many churches spend resources on meeting needs and when the need is met, persons move on but what have they gained? They may have been ministered to as a divorced person, but have they grown as a Disciple of Jesus Christ? Are they a better Disciple, or have we simply helped them through a difficult season in their life? We can do both!
