Our Purpose and Vision

Our Purpose is to embody God’s love to bring about peace, justice, and belonging.

We seek to create an intentionally diverse and inclusive Christian community, living out Jesus’ call to love and do justice for every one of God’s children. Embodying God’s love happens in our faith and action, worship and advocacy, spirituality and service. We experience the abundant and unconditional love of God, and we are called to share that love in the world – individually, as faithful followers of Jesus, and collectively, as a community of faith.

Our Vision is to be a church that shows love and compassion for God’s diverse creation.

We will do this by:

● Creating diverse and intercultural ways of worship and faith formation.

● Supporting a flourishing, healthy, and engaged community,

● Engaging in advocacy and serving those in our local community, and

● Communicating effectively within the congregation and beyond.

We believe in:

● listening to God’s call to our diverse community,

● nurturing and affirming everyone who gathers, and

● speaking and living in truth,

● while offering grace to ourselves and others.

We are Oakhurst Presbyterian Church USA

  • Who We Are

    Oakhurst Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) is a diverse community. We are from different places, different religious backgrounds, different lived experiences, different ethnicities, and different abilities, different cultures, different ages, different socio-economic levels and we strive to honor them all.

  • All Are Welcome

    We are a welcoming and affirming community and welcome everyone. Nobody is denied a seat at the table. We are a truly multiracial congregation willing to have difficult discussions to worship and witness together as children of God. We are a More Light Presbyterian Church.

  • Faith Formation

    Our life together has led us to affirm our call to be one family through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Our sermons are not always comfortable as we boldly face demands of the world. We are actively seeking transformation as a people of God by the power of the Holy Spirit.
