Oakton Church of the Brethren strives to identify and listen to what is important to our congregation and community. Our goal is to feel the pulse of the church and plan accordingly.
Historically, the Church of the Brethren has taken the needs of the world seriously. When an emergency or disaster occurs we focus on providing aid as we are able. This may consist of hands on or financial assistance, and/or sending provisions. Our committees co-ordinate many projects, but it requires the love, commitment and participation of our entire church family to accomplish our goals.
