Local Outreach

Serving & caring for our local communities

Community Care & Service

“Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?” The expert in the law replied, “The one who had mercy on him.” Jesus told him, “Go and do likewise.”

Luke 10:36-37

In Luke 10, Jesus provided a parable about the good Samaritan, and taught his disciples that showing mercy to your neighbor was of utmost importance. Likewise, at Oak Pointe church, we seek to serve our neighborhoods by sharing good deeds as well as good news. By caring for our neighbors, we can live this out today by shining God’s light into a dark world.

Outreach Ministries

Oak Pointe is active in our community through our ongoing outreach ministries. These different ministries take the lead in our communities to provide prayer, care, support, and counsel in areas that are under-resourced and overlooked. These ministries offer ongoing opportunities to share in the vision that Jesus gives us to love our neighbors.

Prayer

We want to be a prayer-saturated church with all of our events to be centered around prayer. We have many opportunities for you to partner in prayer with us throughout the week.

Congregational Care

Congregational Care team members serve on an as-needed basis. Providing hospital & non-hospital visits, ongoing care, funeral service support, pastoral counseling, and support.

ESL

English as a Second Language

Oak Pointe is a multi-ethnic church community with a growing number of people from countries outside the United States. We offer bible studies and ESL classes throughout the week. You can help share the Gospel or teach practical English and American culture and customs in a friendly group setting.

Cody Schools

Oak Pointe has been faithfully serving in Detroit’s Cody Rouge community since 2014! Our Cody Partnership team does an excellent job of building relationships with the staff and students. As we interact with students in mentoring, after-school Bible clubs, athletic events, and extracurricular activities, we find joy in representing Jesus well.

Handyman’s Ministry

Our handyman team members use their skills in construction, painting, plumbing, electrical, roofing, and more to help people in need who are unable to hire these services. These teams show God’s love through practical service. No skills are necessary as on-the-job training can be provided.

Community Support

Oak Pointe church also recognizes that we live in a community where many other organizations seek the good and welfare of the public who live in our cities. Likewise, we also seek to support non-faith-based organizations which invest in the training of our children, care of our people, and the safety of our neighborhoods. These ongoing efforts come through the care from people in our congregation who work in these organizations, and we annually pray and support needs as they arise.
