The Oil Church is a family-focused community of believers. Here, you will hear Bible-centered messages that are relevant and practical; and will speak to your right-now situation.

We are a body of faith-filled people who understand that there are so many individuals who feel drained -  emotionally and spiritually - and are in need of comfort and restoration through the unfailing love of God.

 

The Oil Church is a place where you will find real people who are overcoming real struggles and situations by serving a real God!

Why The Oil Church?!

The Oil Church is life-giving! When you connect with us, you will begin to feel less depleted and more fulfilled. You will begin to understand purpose and your Kingdom assignment.

At The Oil Church, you will be surrounded by an atmosphere filled with love and the grace of God. You will be enveloped by support and encouraged to keep pressing and keep pushing. And you are guaranteed a good laugh because we believe laughter is the best medicine and the joy of the Lord is our strength!

Our Mission

It is our heart’s desire to be the evidential expression of God’s love to all we encounter. There are so many who have been wounded and disappointed while experiencing the woes of life. We believe it is this reason that God has anointed us to love - so that we can love you back to life!

Our Vision

We believe there is no unit more impactful than family. Without question, the strength of our future is determined by the strength of the family. Therefore, it is our hope to build people and build families for the purpose of building a better tomorrow. 

Our Values

Everything about The Oil Church is built on the premise of love! We love God! We love people! We love each other! Being “the church anointed to love” is not just a catchphrase; it’s literally who we are. We are family! We are a village! We are love!

Welcome Home!

How excited are we that you’re here?! There’s so much God is doing here at The Oil Church and we’d love for you to be apart of it!

 

We believe that you are God’s purpose. We believe when He created you, He created you with purpose for a purpose and on purpose. It is our prayer that you would fully embrace and walk boldly in God’s purpose and intention for your life. 


It is our hope that during your next visit with us, you will feel the love of God from the moment you enter the door. Whether you live here in the Waldorf area and joining us in person, or you prefer to join us online - we welcome you and are grateful for you!

You deserve to be connected to a love-filled community of people who believe in you and your purpose - and there’s a place for you here at The Oil Church!

Welcome again!

Our Journey

OIL OF JOY MINISTRIES IS FOUNDED

2007

WE HOLD OUR FIRST SERVICE

On February 4, 2007, we held our first service with over 60 people in attendance. In the first couple of years, over 40 souls were baptized many receiving the gift of the Holy Spirit.
