Our Vision: "Preaching, Teaching, and Living the gospel of Jesus Christ"
Our Mission Statement: Oakbrook Community Church has been established as a local body of the Church for the purpose of reaching out to the lost and needy through word and deed, beginning in our local community and reaching around the world; nurturing one another through teaching, equipping one another for service and making disciples of all who come to know salvation through the saving grace of Jesus Christ; and building the body of the Church of Jesus Christ through regular worship, prayer, fellowship and observing the sacraments.
Our mission statement has been drawn from Scriptures which teach 3 primary purposes for the church:
 1) Evangelism
Matthew 28:19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.
2) Nurture
Col 1:28 We proclaim him, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone perfect in Christ.
Eph 4:12-13 to prepare God's people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up {13} until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.
3) Worship
Col 3:16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God.
Eph 1:12 in order that we, who were the first to hope in Christ, might be for the praise of his glory.
