The idea behind the OAK began when like-minded believers joined together and attempted to strip back all the bloat surrounding the Western church. A popular church model used today consists of a never-ending cycle: Raise numbers to get money to add programs to raise numbers, and so the cycle goes. But what does the Word say about what the church should look like? Acts gives a clear picture of believers coming together and devoting their lives to the Gospel and to one another. They would sell their belongings to provide for those in need. There was nobody too broken or too lost and love conquered all. This was the 1st century church and we yearn to bring this love and devotion to the 21st century.
The Holy Spirit led us to the name "The OAK" which sums up exactly how we can accomplish the above paragraph. The "O" stands for Outreach driven. The "A" stands for Authentic seekers of His Anointing. And the "K" stands for Kingdom minded. The OAK will always stay focused on outreach, authentically seeking God's anointing, and being kingdom minded. We are confident God is raising up a generation who yearns for His anointing and will do whatever it takes to receive it. We welcome any and all people who God is leading to join us!
