Welcome to the web page of Oak Ridge Baptist Church!

We pride ourselves on being a friendly church family and invite you to come visit!

We currently have one worship service on Sunday mornings at 9:45 am.  We emphasize small-group Bible studies for all ages on Sunday mornings, for middle-age and older adults at 8:30 am, and for all ages, from bed babies through senior adults at 11 am.  Child-care for bed babies and up is available at 9:45 and 11 am.  A separate Kidz Worship for children 4 years old through six-grade is available at 9:45 with Sunday School for all kids at 11…so your whole family will be taken care of!  (Of course, you are welcome to keep your children with you in worship.)

We always have lots of other special events and activities going on.

From August through November and January through May, on Sunday evenings, we offer kids choirs, and discipleship training for youth and adults.  On Wednesday evenings, we have our Wednesday Night Suppers, AWANAs for kids, and separate worship for youth and adults.

You might also be interested in our W.E.E. Grow (Weekday Early Education) program for two-, three-, and four-year olds, which has a limited number of openings for the upcoming session.

In all that we do, we teach the Bible and point people to Jesus Christ, the only real solution to the problems of this world!

Feel free to contact me or any of our staff if you have any questions about our church.

Next time you are here, please ask for a staff member and introduce yourself!  We would love to meet you!

Warmly,

The Staff & Church-Family

What should you expect as a first-time visitor to our church?

We have about 400 people in our Worship Service each week plus another 150+ children who have the option of going to our Kidz Worship.  You can expect to be greeted individually as you arrive but we will not ask our guests to stand or raise their hands in the service.

What should I wear?

Most people dress casually.  You will see a few in suits and ties, a few in jeans, but most in casual wear.  Come as you are and be comfortable!

Where do I park?

We have plenty of new parking!  We just added several hundred new spaces.  You will find entrances to our building all around the parking lot.

Will there be someone there to help me find my way around?

Yes!  We have parking lot “ministers” to welcome you, greeters at the every entry door to greet you, and friendly, helpful people all over inside.  We have a Welcome Desk in our front foyer with people that can direct you!  If you need further help, please ask for a staff member.  We’d love to meet you!

What is your Sunday morning schedule?

We have several small-group Bible study groups (we call them Adult Bible Fellowship (ABF) classes) for folks who are mostly 50-years-old and up that meet at 8:30 am.  (These folks like to get started early and go home early!)

Our Worship Service starts promptly at 9:45 am.  We have a separate Kidz Worship for children ages 4 years through sixth grade.  But, of course, your children are welcome to stay in the Worship Service with you.

At 11:15 am, we have Sunday School for bed babies through sixth grade, Youth Bible Fellowship for grades seven through 12, and for adults of all ages, both couples classes and a ladies class for all ages.

We head for lunch about 12:15…unless you want to visit more!

What we are about?

Our ministries are wide ranging, from a men’s football fellowship that meets on Monday nights to small-group Bible study on Sunday mornings.  We have a co-ed volleyball league in the fall, men’s basketball in the spring, AWANAs and Kidz Choir for the little ones, and separate Bible study and worship for our youth.  We have separate men’s and ladies’ Bible studies (including Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace each fall), an adult choir and a separate senior ladies choir, and lots of social and fellowship opportunities from small in-home dinners with those of your own age to big, church-wide events like our annual Chili Cookoff and annual Turkey Bowl for Missions flag-football game and picnic, which raises money for our directly supported foreign missions.

We are big enough to offer some great programs yet small enough that most people will know your name.  Come find out for yourself!
