Believe 2026

"Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,"

In the year 2026, Oak Park will strive to place an emphasis on discipleship by deepening spiritual
roots, growing in God’s Word, developing daily habits that produce spiritual strength, and
moving people from church attenders to committed disciples.

Oak Park will place an emphasis on evangelism by cultivating a culture of outreach, equipping members to share their testimonies, empowering families to influence those around them, and making evangelism a natural part of everyday life.

We will place an emphasis on leadership development by equipping new leaders, strengthening
existing leaders, and raising up servant-leaders for ministry and outreach.

We will strive to be a generous church by giving out of worship rather than obligation, offering
God our time, talents, and treasures, embracing sacrificial generosity, and faithfully funding
the vision God has given our church.

We will place an emphasis on serving others by serving both inside and outside the walls of the
church, moving from spectators to participants, and expressing love through action.

We will place an emphasis on cultivating a deeper spiritual presence by being a worshipping church,
a praying church, and a Spirit-led church, while making room for God to move
exceedingly and abundantly.

We will place an emphasis on faith and vision by living out Ephesians 3:20, believing for greater
things, praying bold prayers, acting in faith, and cultivating a
culture of supernatural expectation.
