Oak City is a student ministry that was born out of a vision given to our youth leader, Minister Andre Chatman. This vision aimed to establish an environment where Oak City could serve as a pathway to Christ, while also providing a safe haven for young people. The primary goal of Oak City is to create an atmosphere that encourages youth and young adults to experience freedom in their faith journey. Through various activities, programs, and gatherings, Oak City strives to be a supportive community that nurtures spiritual growth and facilitates connections with Christ. This vision has guided Oak City in its mission to empower young individuals in their pursuit of a vibrant and authentic relationship with God.

Liturgical Dance
Liturgical dance has become an integral part of worship for our youth. With its origins in the church, this expressive form of dance combines movement with spiritual devotion. Through carefully choreographed routines, our young members use their bodies to communicate their faith, offering a unique and captivating worship experience. Liturgical dance allows them to praise and connect with God in a physical and artistic way, incorporating elements of ballet, modern dance, and even traditional religious rituals. The fluidity and gracefulness of their movements create a beautiful spectacle that enhances the atmosphere of worship, bringing an added dimension to our services. The dedication and passion shown by our youth in their liturgical dances inspire and uplift the entire congregation, fostering a strong sense of unity and spiritual connection.
Music
Our youth play an integral role in our worship service by passionately playing musical instruments and singing with utmost devotion. Their vibrant energy and talent add a dynamic and captivating element to our worship experience. Through their melodious tunes and heartfelt lyrics, they create an atmosphere of praise and worship that resonates with everyone present. Their dedication and commitment to serving in the worship team is truly commendable, as they wholeheartedly use their gifts and abilities to glorify God. We are incredibly blessed to have such talented and passionate young individuals who contribute so significantly to our worship service. Their involvement not only inspires and uplifts the congregation but also creates an environment where everyone can connect with God on a deeper level.
