Welcome to Oak Lawn Community Baptist Church
At Oak Lawn Community Baptist Church, we support people as they seek to grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
We are an American Baptist Church in partnerships with American Baptist Churches of Rhode Island and American Baptist Churches, USA. We are ecumenically minded and seek opportunities for
worship and service with other community churches.
Our church welcomes diverse families. We provide for Christian Education (Sunday School) for school aged children, as well as a nursery for pre-school children during worship services.
A very important part of our worship at Oak Lawn Community Baptist Church is our music program. We have been blessed with a strong music ministry consisting of a Sanctuary Choir, Hand bell Choir, two
organists, and many musically talented members who readily share their gifts during the worship services throughout the year.
At the conclusion of worship every Sunday all are invited to the fellowship hall to join in conversation and refreshments.
Oak Lawn Community Baptist Church is located at 229 Wilbur Avenue in Cranston. We warmly invite you to worship with us on a Sunday morning at 9:30 am. Until then, may our Lord and Savior
Jesus Christ richly bless you!
A Message From Pastor Barbara
September, 2017
It is hard to believe but summer is almost over and soon we will be celebrating “Back To Church Sunday” more commonly known as “Rally Day Sunday”. Our Board of Christian Education has a wonderful day planned for all.
Let me be the first one to welcome you back to Oak Lawn Community Baptist Church for another Church School Year.
We are so excited you have chosen to worship with us and to learn about the Bible together.
We look forward to all God will do in your life as well as the lives of your family and friends!
Life is full of challenges and struggles, and what a strength it is to be around people who will support you through the difficulties. Yet, it is also a great joy when those people also surround you in the times of victory as well! Victories may seem to be so short in duration while the struggles seem to last “forever”. Isn’t it good to know that in either situation you have someone to walk through those times with you?
Without a doubt, God is the One who is there for us each step of the way and has promised never to leave us or forsake us. People may let us down, but rest assured, God never fails!
We may not always understand God’s ways, but if we did then God wouldn’t be God!
The prophet declares in Isaiah 55:8-9 (NIV) 8, “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. 9, “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.”
I encourage you to enter into this upcoming church year with a heart that is open to discovering all Jesus wants to do in your life both today, and in the days, weeks, and months ahead!
Blessings upon you this and every day,
Pastor Barbara
