What We Believe

Oakmont's charter members in the first few years of the church's life developed Articles of Faith and a Church Covenant that describe in detail Oakmont's views on biblical and theological doctrines, as well as the practical implementation of our life together in Christ.

Briefly, we belive

  • in the Triune God (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit),
  • recognize Jesus as Savior and Lord,
  • trust the Bible as God's Word,
  • affirm the priesthood of every believer,
  • celebrate the autonomy of each local church,
  • affirm historical Baptist views,
  • embrace an ecumenical sprit, and
  • affirm the call by God of all people to serve.


How we choose to relate to each other and treat our friends, neighbors, and even our enemies says more about the depth of our faith than what we say we believe doctrinally.  Jesus reminded us of the importance of matching our beliefs with our behavior in Matthew 7:21 when he said, "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven."
