Oakmont Baptist Church began on April 26, 1964 with 42 charter members. They met for the first 42 months on the East Carolina University campus. By October of 1967, seven acres of land had been purchased and a 16,000 square foot facility, including the present sanctuary, was completed. In April 1993, additional fellowship, educational, and parking space was added. Today, Oakmont is a vibrant congregation of 800 resident members, looking forward to the completion of a new 877 capacity sanctuary and support facilities as we move into the twenty-first century.
