About Oakwood Church

We are a community that loves Jesus and lives to make His love known. Oakwood Church (oakwoodnow.org) is part of the Evangelical Free Church of America, a group of churches united around similar beliefs. We are a multi-generational family of families. Our current average Sunday attendance is about 400. Oakwood Church began as Kettle Moraine Evangelical Free Church (KMEFC) in 1978, at a Bible study held at a home on the shores of Lake Nagawicka. The Lord placed on the hearts of a handful of families that an evangelical church be planted in the Lake Country. KMEFC incorporated on July 1, 1979, with 17 church members. We care deeply about following Jesus and caring for others. As part of the EFCA, we believe God designed the church to be a family of brother and sisters in Christ who are mission-focused and gospel-centered.

In 1989, KMEFC finally had a place to call “home” as it moved into a newly erected facility on eight acres of land. In April 2007, we moved to our current campus and facility. At the time of the move, the congregation adopted the name Oakwood Church, retaining full association with the Evangelical Free Church of America (EFCA). We are a church family gifted with hospitality, ready to serve the needs of our congregation and community. With more than 58,000 square feet, Oakwood can host large community events or intimate small gatherings. When guests enter, we want them to feel at home with
comfortable amenities and friendly faces. We take advantage of all Wisconsin seasons on our 35 acres of land. You’ll Þnd students sitting around a bonÞre in the fall, kids sledding down the hills in the winter, playing baseball on Mission Field in the spring, and outdoor worship in the summer.
