Who We Are

We have a strong ministry team of youth deacons and volunteers that minister to our students. We have about 60 students that are a part of our youth ministry. If you are a student in grades 7th-12th, we hope you will become a part of this special group of teenagers. Come and join us as we seek to follow God.

Believers And Servants In Christ

Woodland Oaks Church of Christ Youth Ministry

Jesus told us that if we want to be His disciples, we must take up our cross daily and follow Him. BASIC is a group of teenagers, grades 7-12, who are devoted to doing that very thing. The motivation for our name is found in Romans 1:16, “For I am not ashamed of the Gospel, for it is the power of God to salvation for all who believe, for the Jew first and also the Greek.” As Believers we affirm that the Gospel of Jesus the Christ is God’s instrument to save humanity. As Servants of God we are not ashamed of this Gospel. We strive to show people the love of Christ through what we say and do and show others that God wants them to accept his saving grace. If you’re looking for an exciting group to be a part of who is devoted to serving God and his will, we think BASIC is the place for you.
