3 Great Opportunities to Serve
If you have the expertise in buying, selling, or mechanical inspection of vehicles, we need your help. The Oaks is in the process of purchasing a new form of transportation and we need assistance in finding something that will fit our needs.
If you have knowledge and experience in design and manufacturing of large property signs, then we need your help. We will begin the process of looking for a large sign that would be visible from the highway and need individuals with expertise in this area to assist with this.
If you have the ability to drive a tractor, clear trees, or the time to work on the church property, then we need your help. The Oaks will begin the process this year of clearing some of the land in preparation for future recreational events. We need people with these different skill sets to help.
Those that have interest in any of these categories should contact Mark Schwartz at mark@discovertheoaks.com
