Ministries
Feel free to come early to, hang-out, grab some free coffee, and meet some friendly people.
Bible Classes for ALL ages are held at 9:30
GROWING OAKS “GO” BIBLE CLASSES
The Sunday classes are for children ages 2-11 years old. Our purpose is for your child to discover how God’s plan of redemption unfolds throughout Scripture and still today, compelling them to join the mission of God. Learning the major stories in the Bible along with essential doctrines of the Christian faith is accomplished using storytelling, hands-on activities, games, and videos. As teachers and children’s ministry volunteers, as we interact with the children, we want to live and show the following: love for each other and for God, respect for adults, for others and for self.
YOUTH AND ADULT BIBLE CLASSES
At Oak Dale, we are dedicated to learning Scripture and being transformed by Jesus. Youth (grades 6-12) and Adult Bible Classes are offered every week at 9:30 before our Sunday service. Feel free to come early to hang out, grab some free coffee, meet some friendly people, and learn about God.
BRANCH YOUTH MINISTRIES
- Branch Youth Ministries is for students in grades 6-12. Our middle school and high school groups gather each Wednesday 7:00-9:00.
- Our Vision is for youth to encounter the Gospel and be discipled to live Gospel-centered lives.
- Middle School Group is led by Dwight and Jenelle Yoder. The youth participate in monthly Bible Studies as well as several outreach projects each year. We also want to provide a safe and fun environment for the kids to fellowship and encourage each other, so we regularly schedule activities such as bike rides, roller skating, pizza parties, etc.
- High School Group is led by Pastor Daniel and Erin Byler . Our gatherings are designed to help high school students grow in faith, build genuine community, and encounter Christ together. Through Bible studies, honest questions, group discussion, prayer and worship we seek to be apprentices of Jesus and grow genuine faith.

CAMP FUSION
Camp Fusion is a free four-day camp for teens aged 11 through grade 11 at Camp Albryoca in Meyersdale, PA. Fusion exists to present youth with the gospel and connect them with a church community. Fusion is a summer camp but it is so much more. For four days, students’ phones are put away, distractions set aside — to encounter the presence of Jesus in a fun and safe camp environment. We offer it free of charge because we believe every student deserves a weekend set apart for worship, community, and growth — no barriers, no cost. Learn more at oakdalefusion.com.
COMMUNITY GROUPS
If you want to grow in your relationship with Jesus, you need to have intentional relationships with people who have the same goal—and a Community Group is the ideal place for that. In a Community Group, you’ll be encouraged to live out the truths you discover in the Bible, as you encourage others to do the same. Community Groups are created to provide a space where Believers in Jesus Christ meet together in life-giving fellowship. These groups are environments in which followers of Jesus meet regularly and pursue spiritual growth and healthy relationships.
WORSHIP AND SOUND TEAMS
Worship is a heart issue. Different cultures, different skills levels, different styles…. None of these matter to God. He desires our authenticity and our heart. Our passion is for authentic, corporate worship. At Oak Dale, the gospel is celebrated through music, song, prayer, and scripture.
RENEW WOMEN’S RETREAT
We look forward to another wonderful year being refreshed and RENEWED! Renew is a free weekend women’s retreat hosted by Oak Dale Church each March. More details are released each December/ January. If you can’t join us in person, be sure to gather some friends and watch our sessions live online or on Facebook and Youtube.
Senior Meal
