OCC Leadership
Oakridge Community Church
Presently, OCC has two ordained pastors and numerous ordained deacons and deaconesses involved in the leadership serving the church. The goal of OCC is to develop a team of godly leaders to share the leadership responsibilities of the fellowship under the Lordship of Jesus Christ.
A careful examination of words like “pastor, shepherd, bishop, overseer, and elder” in the Bible clearly reveal that God’s plan for a local church is for that church to have shared leadership among a team of godly men. OCC is striving to model and develop that clear Biblical teaching. Presently, OCC has two older men in its speaking rotation: Brian Ball and John Bates.

"Thank you for taking the time to get to know a little more about Oakridge
by checking out our website. We are thrilled to present this information to
you. Oakridge is really about a Person, and secondly about people.
Oakridge is about the Person of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who
lived a perfect life on the earth as God in the flesh. He died for our sins to
allow us to be forgiven, and rose from the dead to show His power over
death and the grave. He lives now in heaven, praying for all of us, that we
might accomplish God’s will on this earth. He will return one day soon, to
judge all men, both the dead and the living. Because of these truths,
Oakridge is about people. We gather together as a church to jointly
accomplish God’s will and purposes through our lives, and we strive to
reach out to others to help them to know Jesus as well. If there is anything
I can do for you to help you with your personal relationship with God,
please don’t hesitate to let me know. OCC stands ready to embrace you,
as you embrace the Lord Jesus and His people. Join your life with ours
and lets make a difference together in the Anadarko community! God
bless you!"
Brian Ball, the overseeing minister of Oakridge Ministries
