We are baptized because Christ was baptized. It is one of two Ordinances, the second being Communion, both of which are practiced in the Baptist Church. Baptism is held during our Sunday Worship Service on any Sunday other than the first Sunday of the month.  A Deacon will work closely with you to discuss this really important step and to schedule your baptism at a time that works best for you.

During each worship service the invitation is extended for anyone to come forward. You will be asked to fill out a short card and a Deacon will follow up with you. Because of unique circumstances, anyone who is not in the sanctuary may accept the invitation by contacting the church office at 865-386-8807 or email secretary@oakvalleybc.com.

Visit the website and tour the virtual small groups, ministry groups and OVBC youth pages. You may also contact the church office by email at secretary@oakvalleybc.com or by phone at 865-483-5162, to discuss other opportunities that may exist outside of these areas.
