The Oakhurst Church  of Christ are: 
        BIBLE BASED — We believe the Bible is the  inspired Word of God which shows us how to live as individuals and directs our  life as a Church (2 Timothy 3:16-17).  Because of this you will hear us  talk about the Bible a lot and refer to it as a source of guiding principles as  we try to live like Jesus in our day to day lives.  
        JESUS FOCUSED —  We come together each Sunday to worship and honor our Father and His Son Jesus  by offering songs and words of praise, encouraging our fellow Christians, and  learning how we can better reflect His lifestyle in our own.  We want to  be fashioned and molded to be like Him, to walk in His light. Our hope  and prayer is that each day finds us a little more like Him and that in all we  say and do we honor Him who has so richly blessed us. 
        PEOPLE CENTERED — For a church to  belong to Jesus, it must care about people. His ministry was fashioned by God's  redemptive love to save the people of this world (John 3:16).  Jesus died  on the cross to bring salvation to all kinds of people (John 12:2). The Holy  Spirit was promised as a gift to all who responded obediently to the call of  God (Acts 2:38-39). Christians are to do good deeds for all people, Christians  and non-Christians (Galatians 6:10). We try to practice these principles  through the various ministries of the church and in our personal lives.   
        MISSION MINDED — The Oakhurst church of Christ has a history of active  involvement in mission efforts around the world.  Following Jesus means  reaching out to a lost and hurting world in His name.  From local  benevolence ministries to support of work from China  to Africa, we believe it is important to share  the message of Jesus in ways that are compatible with His character.  We  want to do our part in this great task, whether it takes us across the street  or around the world.
