Welcome to Oakland Community Church
At Oakland Community Church, we are a family of believers in Jesus Christ dedicated to loving God and our neighbors. Join us in worship and fellowship as we grow together in faith.
Winter Bible Study Resumes with Study of Galatians
Winter ’26 Bible Study – Galatians our Bible Study resumes on Jan. 13 with a meticulous study of Galatians, perhaps the Apostle Paul’s first letter to churches he planted. This abrupt and brief correspondence (only six chapters) is among the most important documents in Church history. Its influence greatly exceeded that of the original recipients, and the Early Church. Theologians from St. Augustine to Martin Luther, to modern teachers and preachers have been inspired by these intensely heart-felt and spiritual words. The practical issues Paul addressed in the first century are still relevant in the twenty-first century. Tuesday morning classes at Bethany are from 10 to 11:30, and Tuesday evening classes at Oakland run from 6:30 to 8. I hope to see you there! Bethany Methodist Church is located at 1720 Bethany Church Circle in Forest and Oakland Community Church is located at 2465 Goode Station Road in Goode.
NOTICE: If Bedford County schools are closed, all church activities are cancelled.
