The Oak Grove Church started a Connect Group for youth and young adults this summer that meets every other Thursday, with a light meal and discussion on a variety of relevant topics and current events. We want to create an environment where young people are comfortable openly sharing their hearts.
The Oak Grove Church is connecting with their surrounding community through Breakfast in the Yard, where free brunch-style meals are served and there are lawn games such as horseshoes, a beanbag toss and more. Our goal is to shower the community with fellowship, love, and a meal.

The Independence Samoan-English and Oak Grove churches had a busy summer. Click through the slideshow to see photos from the 2019 North American Division Samoan Camp Meeting, Samoan Cultural Weekend, Oak Grove Connect Group and Oak Grove Breakfast in the Yard.
