$15 Global 6k registration discount!
Many children have to walk over 3 miles per day to get water, which keeps them out of school. You can do something about it!

Each registration provides lasting clean water for one person FOR LIFE.

Two Lent services remain: March 18+25
The gospels are filled with life-changing encounters with Jesus. They’re more than just stories. They point us to his divine nature and teach who he is and who we are in the story of God. God’s Word is an invitation for us to encounter the living God again and again. Join us for our final two Lent services on Thursday, March 18 and 25, 7 pm, in-person or online. We’ll look to scripture and dive into an encounter with Jesus, followed by guided conversation in the Acorn Commons. Childcare is provided, but registration for each week on Realm is required.
Ladies, join us for an If:Gathering experience
We are identity amnesiacs. We forget who we are and we need to be reminded of who God says we are. Ladies, come be reminded of who you are and what that means for the incredible future impact you can make in this world. Come join an IF:Gathering Experience at Five Oaks as we take the top talks of the IF:Gathering into a four-week small group on Saturdays, during our worship service, April 10-May 1. If you’d like more info or to register, go to www.fiveoaks.church/IF-gathering.
Middle school Camp Getaway June 8-13
It’s never too early to think about summer camp! Our goal is to have a blast this summer, and we don’t want you to miss out! At camp, you’ll learn about Jesus, his gospel and how it impacts your story. We’ll have loads of fun, create lasting memories, make and deepen friendships, and have an action-packed week for six days at Camp Arrowhead! Click here to sign up and watch last camp’s highlight video! Questions? Please email Kyler Albert, kalbert@fiveoakschurch.org.
This summer could be a game-changer for your high schooler
What if, by the end of the summer, your high schooler developed a heart for discipleship and serving others? We have two opportunities for high schoolers that will do just that for them, all while making memories and making a difference. 1. Join us as a student leader at Middle School Camp Getaway, June 8-13. High schoolers will lead in activities, lead in cabins, and assist the adult leaders to make Camp Getaway a high-impact week for middle schoolers. 2. Join our APEX mission trip in Minneapolis this summer. This is a chance to peel back the layers of need in our own backyard and watch our high schoolers develop leadership and discipleship rhythms, rhythms that will spill into their young adult lives. Details & registration for both events are in Realm.
