Missions Around the World
Fulfilling the Great Commission
Here at Oakpointe Christian Center, we believe that the Great Commission in Matthew 28:19-20 clearly compels us to reach outside of the four walls of the church to "make disciples of all nations". We support Missionaries and Missions Organizations around the world through monthly pledges that are renewed on an annual basis. Our goal is to give 10% of our General Income towards missions. OCC believes God blesses any church that believes in Missions. We also believe in outreach right here at home in the USA.

Missionaries/Organizations
The Bible holds that, upon his resurrection, Jesus commanded his followers to "Go into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature." This is called the Great Commission.

Their latest church was last fall, a plant/building, in El Salvador.
OCC's program
Operation Latin America
Our Pastor's brother, John Robles, had a goal to build 100 churches in Mexico during his lifeline. John did build 95 churches, but sadly passed before reaching his goal. Pastor Robles and OCC Missions are trying to fulfill this vision. We've been a part of building this church, #96. Only 4 more to go!
