Join us for night two of OCBC Annual Revival!

Shaw Day Program @ OCBC

     On Sunday, April 12, 2015, OCBC's Shaw Day Committee held the Shaw Day Program. Sis. Roxann Sykes led the church in worship service. The Youth Choir sang splendid songs for the service. Sis. Deborah Burch did a special tribute in honor of Shaw University and its 150th Anniversary! 
     Finally, the sermon was done by Dr. Gaddis J. Faulcon, the interim president of Shaw University! His sermon was titled, "The Great King Shepherd!" 

Easter Sunrise Service & Easter Sunday Program @ OCBC

     On Sunday, April 5th, 2015, OCBC woke up early to celebrate the early Easter Sunday morning for the Easter Sunrise Service. This early morning service was held at Western Boulevard Presbyterian Church with Rev. Betty Connette and Rev. Dr. Bruce Grady.

     Western Boulevard Presbyterian Church hosted this service, and worshiped the Risen Savior along with Rev. Timothy Howell and Athens Baptist Church, Rev. Canon Ian MacGregor and the All Saints Anglican Parish, and Rev. Dr. William T. Newkirk with Oak City Baptist Church.

     Western Boulevard Presbyterian Church's Church Cancel Choir along with Janet Cherry, a music director and organist, led the service in song.

     Finally, the wonderfully spoken sermon was preached by Rev. Timothy Howell of Athens Drive Baptist Church, which was titled, "The Empty Tomb."

    At the conclusion of the service, a wonderful breakfast reception was hosted by Western Boulevard Presbyterian Church...and all four churches were blessed with the food that was prepared...

...but, the fun didn't end there!!!

     OCBC members traveled back to their home church to witness the splendid Easter Program Project created by the Sunday School Ministry. In this project, members of OCBC displayed what Easter meant to them through forms of art...all truly went well!

     After the wonderful Easter art displays, at 10:45 am on the dot, our very own Rev. Timothy Lucas led the Easter Church Service. The OCBC Celebration Choir sang beautifully-done songs like the service introit "He That Believeth," and two uplifting special selections before the meat of the service...the sermon.

     Our very own esteemed Rev. Dr. William T. Newkirk preached wonderfully on the topic, "When You Feel Forsaken" in honor of the Easter Sunday.

     If you missed out on this blessing...you might not want to miss the next one rolling around soon!

Men's Day @ OCBC

On Sunday, March 15, 2015, Oak City Baptist Church celebrated Men's Day...honoring all the men of OCBC.

Deacon Phillip McDade led the service, and the Male Chorus led the service in worship and wonderful singing. Trustee Patrick McNair gave a special tribute to all the men of OCBC.

     The sermon for this special day was preached by Rev. Michael A. McDuffie...who preached a sermon that packed in praise and worship! If you missed this one...you're probably missing out on a lot from Oak City Baptist Church!

Adoption and Foster Care Observance Service @ OCBC

     On February 8, 2015, at Oak City Baptist Church, the Adoption and Foster Care Ministry held a service in its honor for its service to the adoption and foster care community. This service took place on the 2nd Sunday of OCBC's Black History Month in February.

     During this service, Wake County Human Service Representative, Nikki Lyons, came to Oak City on behalf of Wake County Human Service. 

     The Youth Choir led the service in the wonderful singing of old spirituals in observance of Black History Month.

     Finally, our very own, Rev. Dr. William T. Newkirk led the service with his own sermon titled, "God Chose Us!" If you missed his sermon...and even the entire service...you missed another of our treats!

Installation Service @ OCBC

     On January 25, 2015, OCBC elected and installed its new 2015 officers and leaders to lead them into another productive and successful year for this church of Zion. Our Pastor, Rev. Dr. William T. Newkirk, installed the new officers...and the productive years ahead of them...right!
