Guest Speakers
Oakwood, from time to time, has guests come and speak to the congregation. Some speakers are Oakwood leaders, some are former Oakwood members, and others are pastors visiting. Some of the messages fit within a current series, while others are stand-alone messages. All are God inspired!
