If you have a heart for serving Oak Mountain and an interest in technology - or if you are just curious about how we get those lights to do that thing - we want you on the production team. Our team typically serves one Sunday a month with a Wednesday evening rehearsal prior to your scheduled Sunday.
No experience or background in technology is required to join the team! We’ll teach you everything that you need to know to serve in a team environment that is both exciting and impactful.

We have partnered with a Christian organization - Inspiritus - to provide respite for families displaced from their home country. In addition to providing shelter, we are calling on you - our church family - to engage our new neighbors with the surprising power of grace freely given to us, so that we could extend it to others.

Sav-A-Life, Inc is the largest pregnancy care center in the Birmingham metropolitan area, with three locations in Vestavia, Crestwood, and Fultondale.

Featured Service Opportunities
NURSERY/PRESCHOOL SERVE TEAM
As our church continues to grow, so does the number of children in our Nursery and Preschool classrooms on a Sunday morning! The Oak Kids Team invites you to serve alongside our paid staff during either the 8:15 or 10:45 am services to provide a safe and loving environment for all children in our care. If every member served once/quarter (4x a year!), we would not only be covered in number of serve team members, but we would see the Body of Christ at work among our entire congregation on Sunday mornings! Click the button below to sign up for your quarterly dates. Contact Barbara Lindsey for more info.
KINSHIP CARE MINISTRY
Porch Light is the Family Advocacy Ministry (FAM) for Oak Mountain Presbyterian Church.
James 1:27 describes "pure religion" as caring for orphans and widows in their affliction. This call extends to everyone, not just those who foster or adopt. Foster, adoptive, and kinship families need community support, and we all have a role to play.
If you'd like more information on serving, or are a foster, adoptive, or kinship family, please contact Becky Gibbens, our Porch Light Ministry Coordinator.
