welcome

vision

We are a community of Spirit filled followers of Jesus Christ, rooted in God’s word, attempting to do life together in a manner that is fragrant to all, in order to visibly make a difference in the families and communities that God has placed us in.

That our church should be a beacon of hope and a place of welcome to all, providing a space that can be called ‘Home’.

We believe that Jesus came to mend the broken hearted, to proclaim God’s victory over depression and oppression and to welcome all who would respond into the Royal Family of God himself. He has called us, His Church, to join Him in this adventure through both word and deed until Christ returns.

history

We are a vibrant, family-orientated church with a heart towards making a visible difference in the community around us. Our services are weekly on Sundays at 10:30am, these consist of a mix of traditional and modern worship songs, an active children’s ministry and thought provoking relevant talks. Four Oaks Baptist Church has been the heart and soul of Four Oaks since the late 1700s. In 2017 we decided to employ a new minister with hopes of increasing the church congregation. During our journey of growth, we found the lovely Phil Wilks and offered him the position of Minister. Since then we have gone through a period of growth with our congression, fun-filled events, and modern prayer.
