  • October 2020 Update

    October 14, 2020

    I want to take this opportunity to thank you for your generous obedience to the cause and mission of Jesus. We have been in a season unlike any we’ve seen before. And yet God has been showing up in beautiful ways reminding us of his faithfulness and desire to draw people to himself.

    The ministry this fall happening through WOCC has been strong and impactful. Because of your generosity and commitment, we have been building off what God has given to us. We have been meeting at our facilities for in-person gatherings for three months. Each week we have seen more people returning for worship and more guests stepping through our doors for the first time. We continue to engage with hundreds through White Oak Online. We have seen several people surrender their lives to Jesus through baptism. By the close of October, we will have deployed dozens out into our communities to serve those in need. With the re-gathering of our children and student ministries, we have seen many families re-engaging at WOCC and 100+ kids reconnecting in faith conversations at White Oak. I am in awe of God’s provision through your generosity.

    We continue to see fast-paced movement on the building of our Ross Twp. Campus facility! I am confident, due to your generosity and God’s vision for his Kingdom, we will be celebrating many more life-change stories in the months to come. In fact, in our upcoming sermon series in November, we will look at some key elements to the vision and the full life God desperately wants for each of us. I can’t wait to share that with you!

    Thank you for taking steps into deeper places in trust, obedience, and generosity. In John 10 Jesus tells us that he is the Good Shepherd and his sheep recognize his voice. There are many other voices vying for our hearts and trust. Thank you for seeking, hearing, and following our Heavenly Father’s voice.

    On the path with you,

    Nathan Hinkle, Lead Pastor

    White Oak Back Together
    Register. Serve. Celebrate.Regathering at Our Physical Campuses

    **Pre-registration is no longer required.

    White Oak has begun regathering for in-person worship at both of our campuses on Sundays at 9AM and 11AM.

    We know not everyone will be comfortable coming back right away so you can still expect to see White Oak Online each week on Facebook, YouTube, and our website on Sundays at 9AM. If you are considered someone who has increased risk for severe illness (older adults and those with underlying medical conditions) we recommend you continue to engage with White Oak through our online services.

    Here’s what you can expect:

    We know it won’t be the same kind of experience we’re used to, but we’re excited to see you again! We want you to know that caring for our people is one of our top priorities so here are some of the things you can expect this Sunday.

    • Open 15 minutes before services. The building will be opening about 15 minutes before services in order to limit gathering within the building and to give clean teams time to prep before services.
    • Practicing social distancing. Please practice social distancing between families in the parking lot, entering the auditorium, and when you are seating in the auditorium.
    • Masks are required. Due to the state mandate for Hamilton and Butler County, masks will be required for individuals 10 years and older. We will have masks available if you need one.
    • Children’s Ministry at 11am. We want to get our kids together safely. You can read more about our new check-in procedures and wellness policies here.
    • Hand Sanitizer. We’ll have lots of it!
    • Dismissing by rows. After the service is completed you will be dismissed by rows and asked to go directly outside so that clean teams can begin sanitizing the building.

    There will be several serving opportunities for Guest Services in the coming weeks as we prepare to for those coming to attend a service. If you would be willing serve on this team, let us know.

    Say Thank You to Rick & Nancy

    Click below to record a 2-minute video to thank Rick and Nancy Shonkwiler for their season of ministry at WOCC over the last 10 years! Just click “Record Video” below and follow the prompts to record from your webcam or phone.

     

    On Sunday November 3, an important announcement was shared with our White Oak family. If you were present you had the opportunity to hear Rick Shonkwiler announce his retirement from full time ministry effective May 31st, 2020. Nearly two years ago Rick approached the elders about his desire to retire sometime in 2020. Rick and the elders began praying, studying, and planning for this transition. Together, Rick and the elders developed a process and time frame based on some shared goals: We desired for Rick to finish strong, we wanted Rick to see Cannonball through its fruition, and we wanted to lay the ground work for the next leader to start strong. We used the process and goals to identify the next senior minister.

    We are excited and honored to announce that the elders have called Nathan Hinkle to be our next senior minister. Nathan has served White Oak for the last 17 years, seven years in student ministry and ten years as our Ross campus pastor. We feel God has been uniquely preparing Nathan for his new role as senior minister. Over the years, we have seen him develop strong leadership skills that will serve White Oak well.

    If you are like us, you have mixed emotions about this news. We have a sense of excitement for Rick and Nancy as they take this next step in their lives, but also a sense of sadness that our relationship with a good friend, pastor, mentor and brother and sister in Christ will be different. We also have a sense of excitement and anticipation for Nathan’s leadership as senior minister, but at the same time know that our relationship with Nathan and Denise may look a little different. We want you to know we understand and are praying for each of you.

    We have included some Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) with this letter. We hope it answers many of your questions and provides additional information for you to learn more. If you have more questions, please take advantage of the meeting times to discuss them with us. You can also contact us via email at elders@thewocc.com.

    Over the next several months we will celebrate! We will celebrate Rick and Nancy. We will celebrate Nathan and Denise. But most of all we will celebrate God and all He has done and will do as we continue to jump in and make waves!

    Thank you for your partnership,
    The WOCC Elders:
    Rick Barnett
    Josh Feiser

    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

    How did this come about?
    In late 2017, Rick Shonkwiler approached the elders about his desire to retire from White Oak Christian Church in 2020. After much reading, discussing, and praying, the elders along with Rick, developed a process and timeframe to help Rick finish strong. Rick will retire from WOCC on May 31, 2020.

    How will this transition affect White Oak?
    This is a defining moment for Rick and Nathan and the next chapter in the long history of WOCC. As with any transition, some change is inevitable. But our commitment to be a transforming community that engages the lost, makes disciples, and shows compassion will stay the same. We will continue to love God and love people and do everything we can to bring honor and glory to Jesus. This deliberate succession process was developed and implemented specifically to make the transition as smooth, seamless, and relational as possible.

    How did the elders determine Nathan Hinkle was the next Senior Minister of WOCC?
    The elders and Rick first began by reading, praying, and talking with other churches that have recently had a senior minister retire. We wanted to gather as many “lessons learned” as possible.

    We also had robust discussion and more prayer about whether to look outside of WOCC for a new Senior Minister. We ultimately discerned that the next Senior Minister was already on staff – Nathan Hinkle.

    The elders met with Nathan and his wife, Denise, multiple times over the course of the last year to discuss this role. After these discussions, the elders were convinced that Nathan has the right experience and the calling to lead WOCC as its next Senior Minister.

    What will Rick and Nancy do after?
    Rick and Nancy will continue to worship at WOCC, and both will continue to serve in volunteer roles. They may take some time to off to enjoy some travel and adjust, but we look forward to worshiping with them at either Ross or at Colerain very soon.

    Rick has a heart for ministry and for the local church. After the transition of leadership at WOCC, Rick will become the part-time Director of the Career Services Initiative for the Center for Church Leadership (CCL), a non-profit ministry devoted to local church leaders, both vocational and volunteer. CCL has its ministry “hub” in Cincinnati.

    Will Nathan and Denise and the family move to Colerain?
    No. Once Nathan becomes Senior Minister, he, Denise, and the kids will remain in Ross. Because of Nathan’s new responsibilities, he will spend more time at Colerain, but we expect that he and the family will continue to be at the Ross campus most Sundays.

    Will Nathan continue to be the Ross Campus Pastor?
    No. Being Senior Minister and Campus Pastor is a lot of work for one person. The elders believe there is value in having Campus Pastors allocated and committed to the needs of their community. For that reason, we will be hiring a new Campus Pastor for the Ross campus. The elders are praying about the next Campus Pastor at Ross, taking active steps and asking that you join us in prayer. We hope to announce that person in the very near future.

    Will Kevin Smith’s role change as a result of this transition?
    No. The elders believe there is value in having Campus Pastors allocated and committed to the needs of their communities. Kevin will continue as the campus pastor at Colerain. We appreciate and look forward to Kevin’s continued leadership.

    What happens next?
    Six months seems like a long time, but it will go very fast. We are in the process of developing a schedule of events that will be on the church website: www.thewocc.com/transition.

    We will keep the website up to date with the transition schedule, the affirmation process, and celebration details for Rick and Nancy and Nathan and Denise. Check the website often. If you do not have access to the internet, or prefer to have copies of the information, please contact the church office at 513-385-0425.

    We will update the congregation through the InFocus with Rick and in the program for Sunday worship services. If you do not currently receive the weekly InFocus with Rick, you can sign up at www.thewocc.com.

    How does this transition impact CANNONBALL?
    This transition does not change the generosity journey we are all on. We are in the final stretch, and now more than ever is the opportunity for each of us to Finish Strong in our CANNONBALL commitment. Through your continued generosity, you can help WOCC be in a strong position of growth as Nathan assumes the Senior Minister role. We look forward to celebrating God’s faithfulness with you in May 2020 at the culmination of Cannonball.

    How can we be involved?
    First and foremost, please pray. Pray for Rick and Nancy. Pray for Nathan and Denise. Pray for WOCC. Our desire is to follow God’s plans to continue to grow communities where people are becoming fully devoted followers of Jesus.

    Plan to join us for celebration events in the spring of 2020 as we honor Rick and Nancy’s long-term commitment and leadership at WOCC. Look for more information on our website as details become more definitive.

    What if I have more questions?
    We invite you to stop by between or after services on Sunday, November 10 or November 17 to ask questions of our elders. They will be available in room 220 at the Colerain Campus and Room 401 at the Ross campus. You can also contact our current elders by emailing elders@thewocc.com.

Bring Your Own Jesus

Bring Your Own Jesus

Bring Your Own Jesus June - July 2018 Series Description We are a people of preference. We all have things we like and don't like. Foods, drinks, movie genres, and more. We have been trained to pick and choose the things we like about anything and everything. Unfortunately, that filters over into the way we think about Jesus and spirituality. We resonate with one of Jesus' teachings but we completely ignore another because we don't like it. In Bring Your Own Jesus, we'll be analyzing the TRUE Jesus; not the version that we've peiced together for ourselves. Media Related

For June 2019 Media

Series: Full of It

Full of It November 2020 There are three main questions which all of us ask in life: Who am I,  Why  am I here, and How am I to live?  Of course, we have as many answers to those questions available to us as we do the means to find those answers. At any point we find ourselves full of lots of things which promise to tell us who we truly are, what our purpose is, and what we should be doing. Sex, good looks, money, popularity, success, talents, accumulated stuff, acceptance, and even religion. All of these promise a version of life that will fulfill us. But there is only one version of life which promises to fill every part of our being. This is the only  promise  which is guaranteed to every single one of us, every day, without fail.        The promise of Full Life comes to each of us from our Heavenly Father. Jesus tell us that there is a thief who comes into our lives bent on stealing, killing, and destroying. Instead, Jesus tells us that he comes to give us real lasting  life;  full life.        There are many voices claiming to lead us to experience full life. In this series, we want to learn what our Father’s voice sounds like so that we can be full of it. We want to determine what he says about who we are, why we are here, and how we are to live this life. When we learn to listen, trust, and follow God’s voice we will be on the path to abundantly full life.

Hope Starts Here December 2020 In the series Hope starts here we will look at how the birth of Jesus ushered in hope for the world.  The Old Testament is filled with prophecies about the coming  messiah .  How God  was at work to bring salvation to all people.       HOPE STARTS HERE. We don’t have to wait for it.      The Christmas story is the epicenter of hope; God sending his son (Jesus being born) is the origin of hope, and the reason for the hope we have today.      There were 400 years of silence leading up to Jesus’ birth - years of tension, uncertainty, uneasiness, and doubt, wondering “Where is God  in the midst of  this? Has He abandoned us?”   Everyone was looking for hope and waiting for change.      “I bring you good news that will cause great joy” (Luke 2:10)      What was it like to be a shepherd back then?  What would cause a Magi/shepherd to travel days and days to see this thing?  It starts here, and it starts now.

Series: Moving Mountains

Series: Moving Mountains

Moving Mountains January 2021 He said to them,  “ Because of your little faith. For, I say to you, if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you.”   Matthew 17:20   “I lift up my eyes to the hills.  From where does my help come?  My help comes from the Lord,  who made heaven and earth.” Psalm 121:1-2    There have been many people throughout history who have been dreamers.  People like Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Edison, Martin Luther King and Henry Ford.  These people have pushed the boundaries of what was possible or right and created a world full of hope, drive and freedom. However, as a people, we often find that many of us are not dreamers in the same way.    When we are asked what we dream about, we find that our ideas and approaches are far less audacious and powerful.  Many believers find themselves focusing so much on the day-to-day things of their life, that looking towards the future or towards something bigger often isn’t even a possibility.  Particularly, when we are faced with obstacles to our faith and our mission, we find we often spend more time focusing on the mountain than focusing on the one who can move mountains.    In this series, we will explore the idea that God wants to move mountains and He most wants to use us to help make that happen.  We will focus on the idea that God wants to move things through us not for us. Jesus dealt with this in his time as his own disciples didn’t have enough faith to do the things that Jesus told them and equipped them to do. We are often the same.  God will equip us for mission, and we need to have the faith to believe that through His strength, we can do everything he asks of us.    This series will also discuss the things that God calls for in my life versus the things that I/we want to see done in our:   Personal lives (me)  Church (we)  God’s Kingdom

Your But's Too Big

Your But's Too Big

Your But's Too Big August 2018 Series Description We are a people of preference. We all have things we like and don't like. Foods, drinks, movie genres, and more. We have been trained to pick and choose the things we like about anything and everything. Unfortunately, that filters over into the way we think about Jesus and spirituality. We resonate with one of Jesus' teachings but we completely ignore another because we don't like it. In Bring Your Own Jesus, we'll be analyzing the TRUE Jesus; not the version that we've peiced together for ourselves. Media Related

Bible Reading Plans

Bible Reading Plans Reading God’s Word (the Bible) is the primary way God communicates His truth to our hearts. There are many “methods” and “reading plans” available. Some are designed to take you through the entire Bible in a year. Some are more topical or devotional in nature. The truth is, it doesn’t much matter which one you choose as long as you are intentional about spending regular and focused time reading the Bible and opening your mind and heart to what God is saying. Here are some links to a variety of reading plans and mobile apps. Pick the one that seems to be most helpful to you right now. Commit to a regular time to read and get started. You Version -- Enjoy hundreds of versions, including audio, all on your mobile device. Bible Gateway -- Internet access to hundreds of versions and study helps. Glo Bible -- An interactive Bible that brings the text of the Scripture to life through HD video, high-res images, zoomable maps, 360-degree virtual tours, and more.

Serving In The Community

You don't have to go far out the door to find people who need to feel hope and find God! We encourage individuals, families, Life Groups and Adult Bible Fellowships to find ways to serve and impact our communities. Some of our organized serving opportunities include: Helping Hands Throughout the week teams of two or more volunteers seek to be the hands and feet of our Lord in meeting the urgent physical needs of those in our church and community who are unable to do for themselves.  This may include widows, senior citizens, divorced, disabled, etc… people who have household needs that they are unable to take care of on their own.  Our teams of volunteers seek to lovingly provide the help those of our church family and community need in order to live normal lives.  If you have “handyman” skills or are able to do yard work, or simply want to be a helper in these areas, this may be an opportunity for you to serve others, form friendships, and follow God’s path for your life at the same time. Life Groups, Adult Bible Fellowship Groups, and Student groups are encouraged to participate. Sign up to serve with Helping Hands. Complete this form if you are seeking help from Helping Hands. Whiz Kids (Ross and Colerain Campus) Whiz Kids is a weekly tutoring program sponsored by City Gospel Mission.

Christhia Seva Mission

In 1980 White Oak Christian Church sent Mathew & Mary Mathai back to their homeland to become missionaries. The challenge was huge! But God blessed their work and because of their faithfulness, more than 4000 people have been won to Christ through this ground-breaking ministry. The mission began humbly with just Mathew and Mary and a faithful Christian woman in Chickballapur called Mrs. Solomon. They began visiting with people, making friends, helping with basic medical needs and showing the love of Christ. Today Christhia Seva Mission employs 26 preachers, a nurse, a driver, an administrator and a director of women's ministry. Each week these faithful servants minister in over 300 villages in and around Chickballapur, India. Over the years we have built 7 church buildings. Others churches meet in rented facilities. Each evening pastors travel by motorcycle to conduct worship services in rural villages because the people cannot travel to church buildings. In addition to church planting, Christhia Seva Mission continues to help meet medical needs, assists children with school books and supplies, helps provide homes for the poor, and feeds the Least of These (Christian brothers and sisters who have no means of support). A sewing ministry helps young women learn a skill with which to support herself and her family. Sponsors also assist deserving children with tuition for higher education.  

Burma Christian Evangelism-Myanmar Sponsorship

Ministry work in Burma/Myanmar  & Student Sponsorship Program The ministry of Burma Christian Evangelism (BCE) has been supported by White Oak Christian Church since 1989 when members James and Khono Khamlum returned to their native land after graduating from Cincinnati Christian University. They have trained hundreds of Christian leaders in Myanmar who, in turn, have planted numerous churches. They also started a church among Nepalese refugees. James passed away but Khono continues ministering in so many ways!  Most significantly, she helps produce a radio program to reach the Rawang people in Northern Myanmar and it is broadcast daily in two Rawang languages.  It is the only Christian broadcast among the Rawang people in the world! Other work in Myanmar has been blessed by White Oak. Christian Mission for Myanmar (CMM) supports youth camps for the remote Naga tribes in Northwest Myanmar. They also have an orphanage and the founder, Daniel Mawyio, is a professor and vice-president in a small Bible College. Also, Myanmar Bible Institute (MBI) and it’s current President have been blessed by contributions from our church.   You can can involved here in the United States by sponsoring a student from MBI. Sponsor a student at MBI -  You can change the future for a rising  missionary/church  planter in Myanmar for $40 per month Sponsorship is available for you to contribute to the future of a rising missionary/church planter in Myanmar for $40 per month.  A college education creates hope and opportunity for now and future generations as it equips each graduate to help populate heaven through a lifetime of diligent work.  For $40 per month, you will provide tuition, food, and housing for a student and offset the cost of wiring the funds into Myanmar. The Myanmar Bible Institute is a four-year college. It has classes for 8 months and in the four months between class times, the students do practical ministry working in the field of service. The funds will be managed through the administration of the school year-round. The Myanmar Bible Institute (MBI) offers bachelors and master’s degrees in Biblical Studies and Ministry.  It is strategically strengthening Christian   witness among the majority tribe of Buddhist friends and neighbors. Its graduates have also pioneered new ministry through several other tribal groups. Since its inception in 1984, MBI graduates have planted more than 70 churches in Myanmar and 6 churches in other countries,  including 2 in the United States. Once you begin your contribution, you will receive a bio and contact information for the student you are sponsoring.  Even though we are crossing cultural, language and communication lines, we hope that in the future there can be an email connection for a monthly email exchange with each student. We haven’t yet solved that problem, but we are working on it.  Technical challenges in Myanmar and communicating translations into English are the primary challenges. Below are the directions on how to get started! 1. Go to http://www.echochurch.org/give   (The forwarding agent) 2. Select Myanmar Bible Institute Student Scholarships and enter the monthly amount. 3. You can schedule payment on the next page. You can set it to automatically pull $40 each month from your account and choose your end date.  (We hope you will commit to all four years for a completed college education.) For more information regarding the sponsorship program or a mission trip to Myanmar, please contact Scott Hudson - hudson4689@gmail.com.
