Our Compassion Ministry aims to Be the Light in our community by loving and serving those outside the church.

Being the Light

Our Philosophy

Blue Oaks has invested in our local community since our inception. In the current fiscal year, we’re investing 18% of our operating budget through our Compassion ministry. We’ve identified projects that we will fund as a part of this campaign and those projects will be invested in as pledges are fulfilled.

Homelessness

At CityTeam Oakland and Goodness Village in Livermore, Blue Oaks will fund the interiors of 25 bedrooms or homes and seek to create opportunities to serve the residents of these important communities.

Supporting those who foster kids

Blue Oaks will partner with Foster the City and the Pleasanton Unified School District Foster and Kinship Programs to encourage the fostering of children and supporting those families who do.

Senior living chapel services

We will expand our current senior center chapel services to serve those who live independently but may have limited family or community connections in the Tri-Valley.

People with special needs

Blue Oaks will continue as the host church for the Tim Tebow Foundation Night to Shine prom night for people with special needs.

  • Senior Center Christmas Caroling

    This Christmas season we have several opportunities to do Christmas Caroling in our senior communities. It is low-key, with no pressure. You don’t even need to have an excellent voice. The only requirement is that you like Christmas Carols and want to bless others with the Christmas Spirit. We will have songbooks for everyone so you can easily follow along. Sign Up Here.
