Oak Mountain's vision is....
to exalt Christ by equipping every member to....
Seek Grace from God;
Share Grace in Community;
Show Grace to All.
Next week a team of people from Oak Mountain Church will be going downtown to the "La Quemada" neighborhood near the Birmingham Airport. Right now, a vacant lot sits covered with trash, weeds and broken glass. By this time next week our hope is that a new park and playground will be taking shape in this space. From the genesis of an idea, flowing out of, not an attitude of "us helping the poor people down there", but rather from an ongoing relationship between members of Oak Mountain's Hispanic ministry and the residents of this neighborhood, our desire is that the light of the gospel of Christ will shine through the sweat and labor of next week so that Christ might be glorified and the Kingdom expanded. Please pray for this team as they seek to bring joy and hope to a people who are dearly loved and highly valued by the Creator. Pray that they will truly glorify God by "showing grace to all".
