Nestled on top of the Blue Ridge
Mountains in southwest Virginia, is the Oakland
United Methodist Church. Only five miles from both Galax
and the Blue Ridge Parkway,
Oakland rests in a beautiful mountain setting. It is a
medium sized Church with a small
country Church personality and heart. If you visit Oakland,
the beautiful scenery,
sanctuary and friendly church members, will make you feel more
than welcome.
The first building was built in the midst of some large oak and chestnut trees and dedicated in October of 1881. The present building was consecrated in 1974.
Oakland is a very busy church. With around eighty different ministries, ministry
events, and special services, there is something here for everyone. The congregation is
made up of people from many different stations in
life. From business men/women and
professionals, to house wives and the retired, they can all be
found at Oakland.
If you live in the Galax area or are visiting, please be sure to stop by Oakland and worship with us.
Your Servant In Christ,
Reverend John Ousley
