Tithing is a biblical principle. God calls us to give the first 10% of our income back to Him. It’s bringing our FIRST and our BEST to God. We’ve seen God provide abundantly in our church, and we know He will provide abundantly for you and your family when you put Him first in your finances. In fact, it’s the one area in the Bible where God tells you to test Him. [Malachi 3:10] WATCH "WHY SHOULD I TITHE?" Kingdom Builders = Giving IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO OUT-GIVE GOD, BUT YOU'LL NEVER REGRET TRYING. Kingdom Builders is about generosity, what God calls us to give above the Tithe. Kingdom Builders is Oaks Church’s initiative to give over and above the Tithe to invest in the expansion of God’s Kingdom locally, globally and for the next generation. Our Kingdom Builder’s offering is missional as it enables us to take giant leaps forward in creating opportunities for people to encounter Jesus in life changing ways. It’s our opportunity to partner with God to build His Kingdom and help rewrite futures for generations to come! LEARN MORE WATCH "BECOMING A KINGDOM BUILDER" New to Tithely?

At Oaks Church, God's Word is our starting point. We are a church for everybody, and we are part of the Assemblies of God. What we believe in. 1. The Scriptures are inspired by God and declare His design and plan for mankind. 2 Timothy 3:15-17 // 1 Thessalonians 2:13 // 2 Peter 1:21 2. There is only One True God revealed in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (The Trinity) Deuteronomy 6:4 // Isaiah 43:10-11 // Matthew 28:19 // Luke 3:22 3. In the Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ. As God’s son, Jesus was both human and divine. Matthew 1:23 // Hebrews 7:26 // Acts 2:22 // 1 Corinthians 15:3 // Matthew 28:6 // Acts 1:9 4. Though originally good, Man willingly fell to sin–ushering evil and death, both physical and spiritual, into the world. Genesis 1:26-27 // Genesis 2:17 // Genesis 3:6 // Romans 5:12-19 5. Every person can have restored fellowship with God through salvation (accepting Christ’s offer of forgiveness for sin). Luke 24:47 // John 3:3 // Romans 10:13-15 // Ephesians 2:8 // Titus 2:11 // Titus 3:5-7 6. We practice two ordinances—(1) Water baptism by immersion after repenting of one’s sins and receiving Christ’s gift of salvation, and (2) Holy Communion (the Lord’s Supper) as a symbolic remembrance of Christ’s suffering and death for our salvation. Matthew 28:19 // Mark 16:16 // Acts 10:47-48 // Romans 6:4 7. The baptism in the Holy Spirit is a special experience following salvation that empowers believers for witnessing and effective service, just as it did in New Testament times. Luke 24:49 // Acts 1:4 // Acts 1:8 // 1 Corinthians 12:1-31 // Acts 8:12-17 // Acts 10:44-46 // Acts 11:14-16 // Acts 15:7-9 8. The initial physical evidence of the baptism in the Holy Spirit is speaking in tongues, as experienced on the Day of Pentecost and referenced throughout Acts and the Epistles. Acts 2:4 // 1 Corinthians 12:4-10 // 1 Corinthians 12:28 9. Sanctification initially occurs at salvation and is not only a declaration that a believer is holy but also a progressive lifelong process of separating from evil as believers continually draw closer to God and become more Christlike. Romans 12:1,2 // 1 Thessalonians 5:23 // Hebrews 12:14 // 1 Peter 1:15-16 // Romans 6:1-13 // Romans 8:1 – 2 10. The Church has a mission to seek and save all who are lost in sin. We believe the Church is the Body of Christ and consists of the people who, throughout time, have accepted God’s offer of redemption (regardless of religious denomination) through the sacrificial death of His son Jesus Christ. Ephesians 1:22 -23 // Ephesians 2:22 // Hebrews 12:23 11. A divinely called and scripturally ordained leadership ministry serves the Church. The Bible teaches that each of us under leadership must commit ourselves to reach others for Christ, to worship Him with other believers, and to build up or edify the body of believers–the Church. Mark 16:15-20 // John 4:23-24 // Ephesians 4:11-16 12. Divine healing of the sick is a privilege for Christians today and is provided for in Christ’s atonement (His sacrificial death on the cross for our sins). Isaiah 53:4-5 // Matthew 8:16,17 // James 5:14-16 13. In The Blessed Hope—When Jesus raptures His Church prior to His return to Earth (the second coming). At this future moment in time all believers who have died will rise from their graves and will meet the Lord in the air, and Christians who are alive will be caught up with them, to be with the Lord forever. 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 // Romans 8:23 // Titus 2:13 // 1 Corinthians 15:51-52 14. In the millennial reign of Christ when Jesus returns with His saints at His second coming and begins His benevolent rule over earth for 1,000 years. At that time many in the nation of Israel will recognize and accept Him as the Messiah, the Savior who died for them and all mankind. Zechariah 14:5 // Matthew 24:27 // Matthew 24:30 // Revelation 1:7 // Revelation 19:11-14 // Revelation 20:1-6 15. A final judgment will take place for those who have rejected Christ. They will be judged for their sin and consigned to eternal punishment in a punishing lake of fire. Matthew 25:46 // Mark 9:43-48 // Revelation 19:20 // Revelation 20:11-15 // Revelation 21:8 16. We look forward to the perfect New Heavens and a New Earth that Christ is preparing for all people, of all time, who have accepted Him. We will live and dwell with Him there forever following His millennial reign on Earth. “And so shall we forever be with the Lord!” 2 Peter 3:13 // Revelation 21 // Revelation 22

This helps with safety and supports our team. Our Camp Dream Team receives a discounted price of $120, which includes food and lodging. You can register yourself or your student here. What safety measures are in place for students and leaders? All of our leaders are 18+, have a MinistrySafe level 3 background check, and go through Sexual Abuse Awareness Training. All leaders must agree with our honor code and leadership policies. Here are a few of those pertinent policies: A leader may never be alone with a student in a dorm. We typically have a 1:7 leader-to-student ratio at camp. A leader of the opposite gender may never text/DM a student or enter a cabin of a student of the opposite gender. All students must stay in groups of 3. We have a Dean in every cabin. (Deans are seasoned Oaks Church Parents. They oversee all of the younger leaders and the disciplinary measures at Youth Camp.) Is YTH Camp the right place for my student with special needs? Although we can accommodate many situations, we do not have the staff or training for students with certain special needs. Please contact youth@oaks.church and we will collaborate with you to find the best option for your student! What if my student gets sick or injured? We are well prepared with a nursing staff that can treat all first aid problems and give direction if a student needs further medical attention. However, if your student is contagious (including lice) or requires medical intervention beyond what our nurses are prepared to extend, please note that you will be asked to retrieve them from the camp. What policies should I as a parent be aware of? There are a few policies that parents should be aware of. We take up phones at night, as nothing good happens on a student’s phone past 12 AM. We will have power strips in the leader’s room for your student’s phone to charge, and they will receive them by 7 AM the next morning. If you would like to request that your student keep their phone, please email youth@oaks.church. We will be happy to accommodate you. We allow girls to wear one pieces or a t-shirt over a two-piece swimsuit. They must wear a cover-up to and from water activities. Lakeview and Oaks Church has a security team made up of security officers and many parents who serve as security and deans. We do not allow any illegal substances, illegal activity, knives, guns, weapons of any kind, bullying, hazing, sexual activity, extreme wandering off, extreme disrespect, or violence. If a student engages in these behaviors, they will be given consequences, and we reserve the right to ask a parent to come pick them up. What should my student bring? Sleeping Bag / Bedding for Twin Size Bed Towels and Pillow Refillable Water Bottle Appropriate Clothing for Night Services Clothes and Shoes That can get Dirty/Possibly Personal Hygiene Items, Bible, Notebook Sunscreen and Bug Spray Spending Money (Optional) Swimsuit (Girls must wear one piece or a shirt over a two-piece) Medications (must check-in all medication with the nurse) Can my student request a roomate?
