Oak Griner Baptist Church

About this church

Oak Griner Baptist Church in Ocala begins Sunday Bible study at 9:15 a.m., followed by English- and Spanish-language worship at 10:30. Wednesday activities run from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m., including adult study, Club 3:16 for children ages three through fifth grade during the school year, and youth ministry for grades six through twelve. The coordinated Wednesday window makes it possible for several generations in one household to participate at the same time.

The Southern Baptist congregation traces its roots to Christians who gathered in the Griner family barn in the 1910s. The original meeting place has grown into a campus with a sanctuary and community baseball fields. Oak Griner says it hosted Marion County's first Awana program in 1994 and continues looking for new ways to make Jesus known locally. Its beliefs follow historic Baptist teaching, while sermons and the church calendar help newcomers assess recent teaching and seasonal changes. On Sunday, the practical choice is between language settings rather than different hours, since both worship gatherings are published for 10:30 after the shared study period.
