What kind of church is Live Oak Community Church? (LOCC)
LOCC is a Christian church that seeks to promote a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. We are fully committed to the truths of the Bible. We strive to communicate those truths in a relevant and understandable way knowing we all face real issues and are looking for answers. We have discovered that those answers are only found in a personal walk with Jesus Christ. We consider ourselves to be real people; not perfect, just forgiven sinners that have experienced a love and acceptance that we joyfully share with others.
What are the worship services like?
We pray and work hard to make sure your experience at LOCC is one that is welcoming, fulfilling, relevant and which focuses on Jesus Christ and God’s Word. Our services feature music led by a praise team and occasional multi-media presentations.
Our pastors present weekly messages from the Bible that are relevant to our lives today and helps enlighten its truth for everyday application.
How will I know where to go?
Our Welcome Center in the front-foyer entrance is staffed with helpful volunteers who can answer any of your questions. We provide coffee, water and Krispy Kreme donuts for refreshments weekly.
What should I wear?
Whatever you feel comfortable in. People who attend LOCC wear everything from business wear or jeans. Feel free to come comfortable!
Will I have to sign anything or be singled out in any way?
No. We certainly want to get to know you, but we want you to be comfortable as well. We will never ask you to wear a visitor badge or to stand up and introduce yourself.
We want you to relax and enjoy the service. Even if you do fill out the “tear-off” section of the worship bulletin, we promise not to knock on your door or contact you in any way – unless you ask us to.
What about my kids?
While you enjoy the worship service we offer opportunities of fun and learning in a variety of age-appropriate preschool and children’s ministries. We are a church that utilizes a number-tag security system and our ministries are staffed with volunteers complete with background checks, so as to ensure your child’s safety. While we expect that your children will enjoy these activities more, you are always welcome to keep them with you during the service if you prefer.
Will you ask me for money?
No. If you are a guest at LOCC, you have no obligation to open your wallet. In fact, we don’t want anyone to give money out of guilt or obligation. Those of us who have made LOCC our church home, give back to God and his church, a portion of what he has graciously given us –with grateful and joyful hearts.
