Our goal as a production team is to serve humbly and excellently to help create an environment where others can experience the Lord intimately and free of distraction.
If you have a heart for serving Oak Mountain and an interest in technology - or if you are just curious about how we get those lights to do that thing - we want you on the production team. Our team typically serves one Sunday a month with a Wednesday evening rehearsal prior to your scheduled Sunday.
No experience or background in technology is required to join the team! We’ll teach you everything that you need to know to serve in a team environment that is both exciting and impactful.

The TOPSoccer program is designed to foster the physical, mental and emotional growth of kids with special needs through soccer. The program is open to children in the U4-U19 age group with any physical or mental disability. We'll gather 4 Saturday mornings where each player will have a buddy (volunteer) and enjoy doing soccer drills and activities together & as a group.
Our hope at Oak Mountain is that kids (and families) in our community will experience the fun of soccer, personal growth, new friendships and the grace-filled love of Jesus Christ.Groups will be formed based on player needs and not necessarily by age.
Each player will be paired with a Buddy.
Buddies must be 12 years of age or older.
Buddies are encouraged to commit to all 4 sessions. This is to help the player to be me more comfortable with their buddy.
Volunteers 18 and older will be required to fill out a background check.
Ages: Boys and Girls ages 4-19
Player Cost: $25
Days / Times: Saturdays from 9-10 AM

Featured Service Opportunities
NURSERY/PRESCHOOL SERVE TEAM
As our church continues to grow, so does the number of children in our Nursery and Preschool classrooms on a Sunday morning! The Oak Kids Team invites you to serve alongside our paid staff during either the 8:15 or 10:45 am services to provide a safe and loving environment for all children in our care. If every member served once/quarter (4x a year!), we would not only be covered in number of serve team members, but we would see the Body of Christ at work among our entire congregation on Sunday mornings! Click the button below to sign up for your quarterly dates. Contact Barbara Lindsey for more info.
FOSTER CARE, ADOPTION, AND KINSHIP CARE MINISTRY
Porch Light is the Family Advocacy Ministry (FAM) for Oak Mountain Presbyterian Church.
James 1:27 describes "pure religion" as caring for orphans and widows in their affliction. This call extends to everyone, not just those who foster or adopt. Foster, adoptive, and kinship families need community support, and we all have a role to play.
If you'd like more information on serving, or are a foster, adoptive, or kinship family, please contact Becky Gibbens, our Porch Light Ministry Coordinator.
