Growing in Faith and Discipleship

Adult Ministry

Mission

Engaging with a variety of other people in our age group is an important way we grow at Mount Oak. We have a variety of ministries that offer opportunities to engage and build community.

We’re always excited to have new members in each of our groups, and we’re committed to serving you in a way that empowers you and enables you to grow in your faith and connect with other believers.

Men’s Ministry

Mt. Oak’s Men’s Ministry exists to help disciple and develop men to become all that God would have them to be. We believe that God is interested in reaching the whole family and that the biblical and spiritual head of the household is the man. Men have a vital role in leading themselves, and their families, to deeper relationships with Jesus and our Men’s Ministry aims to help men fulfill this calling. In Men’s ministry, discipleship occurs through a number of different vehicles including bible studies, monthly fellowship meals/meetings and special events throughout the year. Please come join us in any or all of the events we have scheduled for the year. As we get closer to these events, more information will be described in the bimonthly newsletter and Sunday bulletin.

The Men’s Ministry will either hold a dinner on the 3rd Monday at 6:15 pm or a breakfast on the 3rd Saturday at 8:30 am. These provide the men of Mt Oak the opportunity to come together for great food, great fellowship, awesome worship and encouragement through a variety of home-grown local and regional speakers. The topics for these gatherings vary from the incredibly practical, with events like our own version of ‘Tool Time’, to the spiritual with challenging messages about God’s call on us to be the leaders in our homes.

Women’s Ministry

A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another. (John 13:34-35) Mount Oak Women’s Ministry aims to create a unifying presence to bring women together in our love for Jesus (Christian fellowship), service to others as we nurture our spiritual growth through Bible studies, fun activities, and special events.

Our Mission is to:

Love each other as sisters in Christ

Meet each other at our points of need

Encourage each other in our relationship with Jesus

The purpose of our mission is to equip women to be all that God meant us to be as we reflect Christ-like character in our daily lives and our service to others.

All women ages 16 and up are welcome to become a vital part of our ministry as we reach out to each other, to our community, and to those beyond our boundaries.

To contact us, please call the church office at 301-249-2230, or email us at women@mtoak.org.

We are on Facebook under Mount Oak Women’s Ministry.

Small Groups

We enjoy our big worship gatherings at Mt. Oak, and we like to come together to worship and fellowship in small-group gatherings. We believe small groups offer great opportunities for people to build relationships with one another, and with Jesus Christ. Our Small Group Ministry offers adult groups, family groups (where adults and children gather together), and youth small groups; some meet every week and some meet every other week. In a typical gathering, participants spend some time in worship together, studying the Bible, praying for one another and, of course, hanging out and having a good time.

If you are interested in joining a Mt. Oak-based small group, contact our small group coordinators at smallgroups@mtoak.org.

Best Years Ministry

This is the name given to the ministry for our senior citizens and retired folks, but there is no age restriction. Anyone who is free during the day is welcome. We can always use younger participants to assist with the programs and/or lunch. We meet on the second Tuesday of the month at 11:00 a.m. at the church unless otherwise announced. We have a short program designed to encourage, educate and entertain. The program is followed by lunch prepared by one of our Mount Oak cooks. There is no charge for the meal, but love offerings are always accepted and greatly appreciated. Occasionally our meal is a “Pot Luck.” Traci King provides the leadership for this group and would be glad to answer any questions you may have. We have a good time, so come join us!
