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!

Filled with God’s Presence

Read Exodus 35:1 through 40:38

Ellen’s small group resolved to read through the Bible in a year, discussing what they had learned over coffee on Thursday nights. Many interesting stories filled Genesis and provided topics for enthusiastic discussion. The early chapters of Exodus did the same. But as the group encountered the recitation of the law and the details of the tabernacle, conversation slowed.

“How is all of this relevant to us today?” asked Joyce. “We no longer offer sacrifices. Let’s just skip this part of the Bible.” Ellen directed the group to the last verses of Exodus.

Then the cloud covered the Tent of Meeting, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle (Exodus 40:34).

Ellen understood that the Law, the priestly worship, and the tabernacle continue to teach that God desires to dwell with His people. As the priests followed every detail of God’s instructions, God’s presence filled the tabernacle.

As God’s people, the Holy Spirit dwells within us. He will guide us as we diligently follow His instructions in His Word.

Prayer for Today: Holy Spirit, fill my life with Your presence.

Quicklook: Exodus 40:34–38
