2 If You Are New to Mount Oak If you are new to Mount Oak we want to welcome you to our church and answer a few basic questions you may have. Who Are We? Mount Oak Fellowship is a Bible-believing Christian church that is open to everyone. We are part of the Baltimore-Washington Conference of the United Methodist Church but also maintain a distinct, evangelical identity. What Do We Believe? We believe that God is real, that the Bible is true and relevant to us today, and that Jesus Christ is the way that God has given us to know Him in this life. We are also a part of the faith tradition of John Wesley who invited people to come to Christ as they were - in the belief that everyone can come to know God and grow in their faith. What Types of Worship Services Do We Offer? Mount Oak offers an early service that worships using a spiritual but traditional format at 8:30 am. We offer a later service at 10:45 am that is contemporary in style. We believe that God is present during both. In addition to this, during the school year we offer a Wednesday evening program for all ages which features a fellowship meal and age based studies. Is There A Place For My Child? Yes, your children are welcome to remain with you during either worship service, or to participate in the following ministries that are offered during the 10:45 service: Nursery for birth to 3 years in room 201 (begins at 10:45) Face of Grace: Pre-K to 7 years, Room 106 (begins after the Children s Sermon) Summit Kids: ages 8-11, Kingdom Kids - Room 107 (begins after the Children s Sermon) How Can I Learn More? You can speak to Pastor Barnes directly, him (pastorbob@mtoak.org), call the church office ( ), or hang around after the service and speak to one of our regular members. If we can t answer your question we will try to find someone who can!
