Oak Community Church (PCA) has been established as a local body of the Church for the purpose of:

• reaching out to the lost and needy through word and deed, beginning in our local community and reaching around the world.
• nurturing one another through teaching, equipping one another for service and making disciples of all who come to know salvation through the saving grace of Jesus Christ.
• building the body of the Church of Jesus Christ through regular worship, prayer, fellowship and observing the sacraments.

Oak Community Church, a congregation of the Presbyterian Church in America, is Evangelical and Reformed.
By Evangelical, we mean that we emphasize the gospel (the good news of salvation) through faith in Jesus Christ.
By Reformed, we mean that we are connected to the teachings of the historic church and the doctrinal beliefs recovered by the Reformation. These doctrinal beliefs are expressed in the Westminster Confession of Faith with the Larger and Shorter Catechisms and are an excellent summary of the Bible’s teaching but they, like all human documents, are always subject to and subordinate to God’s Holy Scriptures.

In November of 2021 we purchased a new facility at 10760 Dorchester Rd, Summerville, SC 29485 and we moved into it in May of 2023. We encourage you to come and join us for worship on Sundays at 9:30am.

We believe that the Bible is the Word of God and that it should be the foundation for all of our life, faith, and worship. The Bible teaches us that our purpose in life is to love the LORD our God with all our heart, with all our soul, and with all our mind and our neighbors as ourselves.We believe that our first calling is to share the Gospel. Our greatest desire is to preach Christ crucified for sinners and to tell people that through faith in Jesus they can obtain forgiveness of sin, reconciliation with their heavenly Father, peace, and eternal life.
We believe God teaches us how to joyfully worship Him in the Bible, and that His instructions are all we need. At OCC we seek to celebrate, in a spirit of love, adoration, and reverence, worship that is purposely simple and biblical. The heart of our worship is the preaching of the Word of God, prayer, the singing of praise and the celebration of the sacraments.We take seriously Christ’s saying that the world would know we are His disciples if we truly love one another. At OCC we are dedicated to building up a family of faith that loves, prays for, encourages, and supports all of it members.We believe that it is very important that all of God’s people of every age be constantly growing in grace and the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. We are serious about studying the Bible and the great doctrines of the Reformed Faith that it teaches.We believe in building strong families that are founded on the solid rock of Jesus Christ, and not shifting sand. In a world that daily seeks to tear families apart and send children down pathways that will lead to pain and destruction, it is our desire that the marriages of our members would always be growing closer and stronger and that our children would be brought up in the training and admonition of the Lord.
