Living Oaks Church - Thousand Oaks (CA)

5 /5 jenny cordon: Solid teaching and solid worship. Definitely nothing cookie cutter about their teachings! Plus, members were very welcoming on our first visit!

5 /5 Natalie Arreaga: A close friend of mine started inviting me to youth group every week back when I was in high school. The people my age and the leaders were so friendly and welcoming from the moment I came into that church the first time. They genuinely cared about me and even the pastor was very friendly when I met him. The people here are so inclusive and people I could also count on outside of church. 2 of the leaders would also reach out to me and keep in constant communication with me outside the church and genuinely cared about me. The youth and adults are so funny and friendly. I definitely would recommend people to come to this church! :)

5 /5 Jessica Jokela: I love this congregation: High view of God & His Word (committed to expository preaching — no strange teachings, egotistical ‘spirituality,’ aberrant theology, or hobby horses — undergirded by the pure, Christ-centered gospel); humble, godly (male) pastors & elders who are dignified, warm-hearted & sound in the faith; actively supportive of valid missionary work; uncompromising but not legalistic . . . genuinely loving atmosphere & people, but you know you are going to be protected by sound doctrine; the worship music won’t blow your ears out or whip you up into an emotional frenzy — reverent & life-giving; offers a variety of ministries for men, women, children/youth, marrieds; clear disciple-making mission; general sense of good order, unity, encouragement & kindness; people sacrifice for one another here & show practical love. Overall, a God-honoring congregation that’s safe & sound for any age: Please come visit❣️

5 /5 Matt Mulholland: This church has been our home for over 2 years. One of the assistant pastors married us and we couldnt have been more blessed. Their pre-marital counseling was thorough and full of both truth and love. Living Oaks is very bible focused and incorporates the gospel story into every service. If its not directly stated in the sermon, its laid out in one of the introductory prayers — usually both. Its so rare to find a church that is so faithful in reminding the congregation of why we meet in the first place. - expository preaching - elder-led - women in leadership - strong bible focus - Christ centered - hymns and contemporary worship - classes for new believers (Rooted program) - small groups - strong mens and womens ministries - care ministry (home visits, homeless food, etc.) - emphasis on global and local missions - strong partnership with foster youth program RaisingHOPE - faithful stewardship

5 /5 Christina Garcia: I will have to disagree with Mrs Amy Buss about the celebration of life for my best friend the service was perfect and everyone truly loved the service many people in attendance said how beautiful and touching it was. The preacher was fantastic and I personally loved his message there was absolutely nothing offensive or a slap in the face to the family or friends. Thank you Living Oaks church.
