Our Mission & Vision
Helping people find Jesus and live like Him.
That simple statement is what we want everything to be about. People loving God and loving others. You can be sure that there’s a place for you in this community of Jesus followers.
How do we do that?
Chair (influence)
We believe that living like Jesus is the best way to live, so we create environments where people who know that and people who don't can hang together. We hope that if you're a guest at any one of our experiences you'll feel comfortable, relaxed and able to jump in at your own pace. We believe that the local Church is the hope of the world, and are unashamed in our desire to influence more people with love and hope of Jesus.

Table (relationships)
It is our hope that every person who calls Oakbrook their home would be in relationship. Either in a group or in a mentoring relationship. The Table is the place you have a cup of coffee and talk with your friends, but it's also the place you sit down in the morning and pull out your Bible. The best way to grow in your journey to live like Jesus is by digging into the Bible.

Pie (generosity)
Where your heart goes... so goes your money. Part of what it means to live like Jesus is to be generous. The Bible teaches this thing called a 'tithe', which simply means to give back to God the first 10% of what He has given you... His piece of the pie. We hope Oakbrook becomes a community of radical givers, who give above and beyond a tithe, and that this community of Jesus followers could become the most generous people on the planet.

Heart (serving)
Jesus was about the people that in today's society are margenalized to the outskirts... the shelters... the streets... the 3rd world countries. To live like Jesus means to care for these people with our time, talents, and resources. We hope our community of Jesus followers would be marked by love, and would show that love in villages in Haiti, the streets of Howard County, and all over Oakbrook rolling up our sleeves and serving others.
