What a joy it is to introduce you to our church! You’ll discover that our passion is to provide a place where people just like you can have a life-changing experience with God. At Oak Ridge UMC, our doors are wide open to people from all backgrounds, regardless of where they are on their spiritual journey. What people usually notice first about us is the life-giving nature of our ministry. Our goal is to infuse life and God’s love into people and families through engaging worship services that offer biblical truth in relevant and practical ways.
Together, we’re striving to become the kind of church described in the Bible, where there’s relevant teaching, heart-felt worship, honest friendships, constant prayer, and compassionate care for those in need. In short, we’d like to have the kind of contagious Christianity that can influence and encourage the entire community, one life at a time. In our relationship with God, our family, our friends, and our world ... it’s where new heights begin.
Everyone is on a journey with God. Everyone! We are glad and blessed that you have taken the time to visit us on your journey in Seeking The Kingdom. Regardless of your outward appearance or your inward beliefs, you matter to God and you matter to us. If you are running from Him, longing to find Him, or desiring to praise Him — welcome to the church. Flip flops and torn jeans, or a three-piece suit — welcome to the church. If you are in the prime of your youth, or passing on the wisdom of your years — welcome to the church.
Our ultimate goal is to help people come into Christ-centered lives, where they are fully developed and devoted followers of Christ. It’s something we’re continually working on. We’re pretty certain that none of us are ever going to stop making mistakes. We just want to keep learning, growing, and getting closer to Him. If you like the sound of that, then jump in! There’s a good chance you’re supposed to be a part of it.
We invite you to worship with us! So whether you’re a spiritual seeker who’s just starting to ask questions about God, or a committed Christian who wants to sink the roots of your faith even deeper, you can find a home here at Oak Ridge United Methodist Church.
Enjoy, and please contact us if you have any questions, or if we can simply be of service.
