Giving at Oakland Baptist Church is a matter of worship, stewardship, and obedience. We believe that the ministries of the church should be supported by the tithes and offering of the members of the church. In addition to tithes, members are also encouraged to give
- To the 20/20 Fund - which is currently being used to pay for adding educational and worship space for our youth.
- To missions throughout the year. We also have a month of missions which highlights the need to support missions, as well as educates the members on mission efforts of the Southern Baptist Convention and our church.
