Oakridge Assembly of God

Welcome to the

Oakridge

Assembly of God! 

We are glad you dropped by for a quick visit.  Look around our site and feel free to email us with any questions you may have about our Church and the people who make it a family. 

Oakridge, Oregon is a small community of about 3500 people located in the foothills of the western slope of the Cascade mountains.  The town is surrounded by thousands of acres of National Forest and five rivers and streams converge within a small radius of the community.

Our Church is located in the middle of town along one of the busiest highways in Oregon.  God placed us here for a purpose and although it has been many years we still believe that purpose is being fulfilled.

We are here to serve God and You!


Pastor Fred and Ruby Ulrich

God’s View

Read Psalms 74:1 through 78:72

Rachel took a daily walk. It obviously helped her health, but it also was a time for her to think and pray. She had been asking the Lord for a change in her job situation for over five years. Each time her foot hit the ground she asked God, “Why?” Wasn’t she living a life to honor Him? She saw no change in her situation, but she continued to walk.

Your ways, O God, are holy. What god is so great as our God? (Psalm 77:13).

We get discouraged when our prayers aren’t answered. Sometimes we demand an answer in our timetable and to our liking. However, we must remember God has a perspective we do not have. If we could see through His telescope we would understand and never doubt. The Psalmist knew God answers prayer.

Just as Rachel continued to walk even though she couldn’t see the answer, we have to continue to trust. With every step of life we must remember God has heard our prayer in the past and He will again.

Prayer Suggestion: Lord, today I will look for Your perspective and depend on Your view rather than my own.

Quicklook: Psalm 77:1–20
