Welcome to Church of the Woods!

We are so glad you're visiting us online and invite you to come and worship with us anytime you're here in Lake Arrowhead. We are a community of Christ-followers who believe that every person matters to God and you matter to us too. Please check out our worship celebrations on video and explore our other web-pages that allow you to become acquainted with our friendly church family and our ministries.

 

Love God, Love People, Preach the Truth

That simple slogan is our passion and focus as we seek to fulfill our Lord's Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20) and His Great Commandment (Matthew 22:36-40). Those passages form the biblical foundation of our purpose statement:

Trusting God, we will love people by modeling His love, ministering His love and multiplying His love in reproducing Christ-like disciples!

We want to share the love of Christ with our local community as well as the world-which includes you, our website guest. If you would like more information or have a question about how to develop a dynamic personal relationship with Jesus Christ, please let us know.

Paul captured our desire when he wrote in Colossians 1:27-29, "Christ in you, the hope of glory. We proclaim Him, admonishing every man and teaching every man with all wisdom, so that we may present every man complete in Christ. For this purpose also I labor, striving according to His power, which mightily works within me."

In His Loving Grip,

Senior Pastor Rod Akins and Sandy
