What to Expect
The intent of those who lead worship at Oakbrook is to shine the light of attention on Christ and away from themselves. On a normal Sunday a worship team of 4-6 will lead. The worship style is meant to be a blend of contemporary and traditional music. But the reality is that the bulk of Oakbrook's worship is contemporary.
Oakbrook value's "family worship". Parents with infants are encouraged to drop their babies off in the nursery at the beginning of the service. But older children stay together with their family in worship during the singing. The children are then released for either Kids' Connection classes during the first service or for Children's Church during the second service.
Hopefully, the focus of the worship service will be on worship and on a clear explanation and practical application of God's Word, the Bible. By deliberate intent announcements and other distractions are limited as much as is possible.
The worship service lasts 1 hour 10-15 minutes.
