Adult Education
The Oakwood Mill is the Adult Education Ministry of Oakwood Community Church.
Would you like to be a more mature Christ-follower? Would you like Oakwood to be an even more spiritually dynamic congregation? If so, then like the new congregation in Jerusalem, devote yourselves to the apostles teaching (Acts 2:42).
The very first evidence Luke mentions of the Spirit’s work after the birth of Christ’s church, is that new believers gave priority to absorbing the apostle’s teaching. The Holy Spirit opened a school in Jerusalem that day; its teachers were the apostles, and there were 3,000 students in kindergarten!
Since the teaching of the apostles has come down to us in its definitive form in the New Testament Scriptures (built on the foundation of the Hebrew Scriptures), devotion to the apostle’s teaching today means that we diligently focus on understanding and submitting to the authority and transforming power of the Scriptures.
One vital means of by which you can grasp Bible knowledge and apply it to your life is for you to eagerly, consistently, and actively participate in The Oakwood Mill. This is one important venue where Bible teaching is Preparing us for the Carpenter’s use.

GENESIS – Continues January 10
Chapters 20–50 – “The selection of Abraham through the death of Joseph”
Location: Room 106
Led by Terry Rexroad
Almost all important doctrines and teachings have their foundation in the Book of Genesis: the doctrines of sin, redemption, justification, Jesus Christ, the personality and personhood of God, the kingdom of God, the fall, Israel, the promise of the Messiah, and more. Jesus declared the importance of believing what Moses wrote: “For if you believed Moses, you would believe Me; for he wrote about Me. But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe My words?” (John 5:46-47)
