Our church family stands together, bound by our faith in God, strengthened daily by our belief in and service to Jesus Christ and awed by the wisdom of the Holy Spirit. The members of Oakham Congregational Church worship God and strive to follow Christ’s example by welcoming all, seeking God’s wisdom, growing spiritually, caring for each other, enriching our community and sharing the Good News of God’s creative and unfolding work in the world.

Our Mission

We believe in God the Father, infinite in wisdom, goodness and love; and in Jesus Christ, His Son, our Lord and savior, who for us and our salvation lived and died and rose again, and lives evermore; and in the Holy Spirit, who takes of the things of Christ and reveals them to us, renewing, comforting, and inspiring the souls and lives of believers. 

We are united in striving to know the will of God as taught in the Holy Scriptures, and in our purpose to walk in the way of the Lord, made known, or to be made known, to us. We hold it to be the mission of the church to proclaim the Gospel to all mankind exalting the worship of the one, true God, and laboring for the progress of knowledge, the promotion of justice, the reign of peace, and the realization of human brotherhood.

Depending, as did our fathers, upon the continued guidance of the Holy Spirit to lead us into all truth, we work and pray for the transformation of the world into the kingdom of God; and we look with faith for the triumph of righteousness and the life everlasting.
