Join our NEW Facebook Group
Oakland Baptist Church now has a Facebook Group and we would love for you to join it! We will still post to our Facebook Page so that our friends and neighbors can be aware of the great opportunities taking place at OBC, but joining our Facebook Group will ensure you see our updates and reminders, as well as cute pictures and silly videos. The content posted in this Facebook Group will only be visible to those who have joined, therefore we can more securely advertise things like our Zoom Meeting ID. To join click the button below.

Scouting at OBC
Scouting has been a ministry supported and housed by OBC since 1980.
Our Cub Scout Pack is in need of leaders! They had 25 cubs in March at their last meeting, which is awesome, but they need adult volunteers to keep this ministry thriving. Scouting is now Family Scouting and is for ALL kids! If you are interested in helping, or would like more information please email Cub Master, James Brooks, jbrooks@insigniagroup.com.
