Our Purpose...

The Oak Avenue Baptist Church exists to magnify the Lord Jesus Christ, and to share His Gospel, and to grow His people. We do this by preaching and teaching the Word of God in sincerity and truth. We make no apology for our emphasis upon the preeminence of Christ and purity of life. This kind of focus has produced a loving spiritual fellowship where you and your family can feel at home.

Our Message...

• We believe that Almighty God exists eternally in Three Persons--the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

• We believe that the Bible is the inspired Word of God without any mixture of error. It reveals Who God is, His plan and purpose for the ages, the fall of man, and the redemption provided through Jesus Christ.

• We believe the way of salvation is by grace through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ (See The Gospel).

• We believe that works are the fruit of true salvation, not its cause.

• We believe in the eternal security of the saved, and the eternal retribution of the lost in the lake of fire.

• We believe it is the responsibility of every believer to pursue a life of holiness as a disciple of Jesus Christ, and to share the gospel of His grace with those who do not know Him.   

Our Pastor's Invitation to You...

Dear Friend:

The world in which we live is in a state of hostility against God. Those who seek to live godly in Christ Jesus will find it very difficult to move upstream in a downstream world. My primary purpose in preaching the Word of God is to help God's people advance upstream in their spiritual warfare. This comes by comprehending, embracing, and practicing the truth! Churches today do not need more programs! They need the power of the Spirit of God! Power comes through humble dependence upon the Lord Jesus Christ, and practical obedience to His will as revealed in Scripture. 

Please accept this personal invitation to come and grow with us! If you are searching for a church home, and a place to serve the Lord Jesus, come visit and check us out! If you are searching for the answers to life, let us show you how Jesus Christ can make all the difference!

Oak Avenue Baptist Church stands without apology for the infallible and inerrant Word of God. It is indeed a lamp unto our feet, and a light unto our path (Psalm 119:105). It is our heart's desire that everyone in Putnam County have the opportunity to hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and come to know Him as Lord and Saviour. I am available to assist you with any and all Biblical questions or spiritual issues, and may be contacted through the E-mail link below:
