HERE FOR GOOD IN 2020 AND BEYOND!
In 2020, we launched the Here For Good Project, which had three major goals:
1. Bring hope to the community through the Local Good Center.
2. Engage in digital missions.
3. Launch new campuses in partnership with the YMCA.
In order to achieve these goals, we needed to raise $8 million. And Chase Oaks, you stepped up! So far, Chase Oakers have pledged over that $8 million mark. Your generosity is amazing! Thank you, Chase Oaks.
Go back to bed... No services in person OR online today! We'll see you January 3.

IT'S ON US 2020
2020 was a year full of pain, uncertainty, and fear for many... So we decided to go out to the community to spread some joy and fun in unexpected places!
Our It's On Us initiative picked up the tab at local coffee shops, brought food trucks to neighborhoods for National Night Out, provided ice cream for families at the YMCA, paid for groceries at a Fiesta grocery store, paid off Christmas layaway items at Walmart... Thanks for being #HereForGood with us!
It has been a heartbreaking day, to see not only thousands of people resorting to violence but also flags and banners bearing Jesus' name in the midst of it all. The events in the U.S. Capitol demonstrated great disrespect that only feeds the divisiveness and lack of civility which is already so prevalent.
I am grateful for those who have helped to restore order. And I am praying for peace, for all of those put in harm’s way, and especially for the family members of the person who lost her life today.
Jesus called His followers to shine brightly as people who are known for love. May we pursue love, and justice, with grace and devotion to Christ and His calling above all others.
Jeff Jones - Senior Pastor

As a church, we recognize that this past year has been especially difficult for our Asian American/Pacific Islander brothers and sisters. Violence and harassment against Asian Americans has risen dramatically during the COVID-19 pandemic, and this week’s horrific tragedy in Georgia has added to the fear and anxiety already present in the Asian American community.
Chase Oak Church stands with our Asian American family members through the pain and violence of targeted hate. And we remain committed to following Jesus’ lead in the humbling work of empathy, of justice, and of love.
