What is Secret Church?
What if following Jesus were illegal where you live, and you had to walk miles to find other believers? You’d likely spend hours together praying, worshiping, and studying God’s Word. Secret Church simulates this reality for persecuted Christians. Join us on Friday, April 24, 5 pm-12 midnight at church for a replay of the national simulcast, including worship, study, and prayer for the persecuted church.

Do you ask good questions?

If you have a knack for asking “the right question” or a love for deep diving into scripture, we need your insight. Help us bridge the gap between hearing the Word and living it out together. Interested? Contact Liza Halverson, lhalverson@fiveoakschurch.org.
