Community Presbyterian Church

We are located in the heart of Oakesdale and committed to reaching out, spiritual growth, and to worship.

Join us for worship:

We gather for worship at 10:00 am on Sunday mornings.

Sunday mornings at Community Presbyterian Church of Oakesdale are a fun place! During the school year there is an Adult Bible Study at 9:00am in the sanctuary. We have one service at 10:00am in which we sing both modern praise songs and a traditional hymn. Childcare for is offered during the worship service for children from birth through the age of five. During the school year service there is a teaching moment for kids and then they are excused for Sunday School downstairs. After worship on the first Sunday of each month, we have a tradition of celebrating everyone with a birthday in the coming month. Please consider joining us for food, coffee, and good conversation in the church basement!

Ministries

Children’s Ministry

During the school year, we regularly have:

  • A nursery for our youngest children, birth through age five

  • A children’s sermon during worship for all children

  • Sunday School for our elementary children, they are dismissed part way through worship. This year our children are learning the books of the Bible!

  • Children ages 3-5 can be in both the nursery and the Sunday School. Some weeks due to the numbers of children and volunteers, we may move our 3-5 year old children between the two rooms.

  • Jr. Group, K-5th Grade Group meets monthly, most often the last Wednesday of the month from 3:15pm to 5:00pm. It will resume in October.

  • Safety policy: to ensure the safety of your child, we do not change diapers during our childcare time but will notify you if your child has a need. To help keep your child healthy we will wash hands and toys regularly but we do ask that you help your child to wash their hands upon arrival when possible. Thank you!

Communication

Meet our Co-Pastors:

Our pastors, Joshua and Heather Mikelson, joined us in late August 2023. They are Washington natives who have served churches in Yakima, Tri-Cities, Ephrata, and Scotland! Josh and Heather lived in Kemnay, Scotland for eight years as they served the church and the local Presbytery. When Heather and Josh are not serving the church or the local community, they can be found running after their son, cheering on the Mariners or Seahawks, or enjoying a good cup of tea or coffee.

Feel free to give them a ring at 509-285-1973 or send them a note at heather.mikelson@outlook.com or josh.mikelson@outlook.com. They would love to hear from you!
