Oak Ridge Presbyterian cares for its members and visitors in many ways. Pastor Marti and members of the congregation provide hospital and home visitation. Deacons take flowers to those who have lost a family member on All Saints Day. We offer workshops to support mental and physical health. Our choir sings in local retirement and care facilities. Members of the congregation pray with and for one another.
Pastoral care is the way we live out God’s love to each other in daily living: sharing joys and sorrows, supporting in times of stress and need, and caring during times of birth, sickness, and death. If you have pastoral care need, please contact Pastor Marti Hazelrigg.
Our deacons are here to care for you. In addition to assisting with funerals, our deacons also serve as a close point of contact for church visitors and helping our congregation connect. Cards are sent by the deacons to church members in times of joy or sadness.
The ORPC Prayer Ministry is ready to serve God and God’s people through confidential, dedicated prayer. If you have a prayer request, please contact the church. Due to the sensitive nature of prayer requests, please seek permission from the person you are requesting prayers for prior to submitting their confidential needs.
Out of the Garden Project started in 2008 with the simple task of supplying six to ten families with a small bag of food each Friday so that those children and their families would have something to eat over the weekend. What began as a humble act of kindness has now grown to the largest organization of its kind in the Piedmont Triad taking on one of the biggest problems in the world today: chronic hunger.
Habitat for Humanity is a global nonprofit housing organization working in local communities across all 50 states in the U.S. and in approximately 70 countries. Habitat’s vision is of a world where everyone has a decent place to live. Habitat works toward this vision by building strength, stability, and self-reliance in partnership with families in need of decent and affordable housing. Habitat homeowners help build their own homes alongside volunteers and pay an affordable mortgage.
ORPC partners with Habitat for Humanity of High Point, Archdale, & Trinity, helping build homes in High Point. This Habitat affiliate has completed over 140 houses, home to over 500 people, including 350 children. We volunteer four times a year (once a quarter) on Saturdays. The day begins at 8:30 am and lasts until the job for the day is complete or mid-afternoon. Jobs vary from installing shingles, siding and flooring to painting, insulation and landscaping. You don’t have to have any experience as you will be taught what to do by the Habitat foreman or other volunteers that have the experience. It is a great way to learn some skills that you can use at your own home!
A Simple Gesture (ASG) is a nonprofit hunger relief organization that collects food from generous donors. Donors are neighbors, businesses and faith communities that fill green reusable grocery bags that are then collected by volunteers and distributed to our food pantry partners.
Simple Gesture has three main goals:
To ensure no child is hungry
To create new neighborhood connections and strengthen our community
To serve as a model for other communities
Simple Gesture volunteers sign-up to pick up food bags from a designated neighborhood and deliver them to a specific non-profit location. Please visit https://asimplegesturegso.org/ if you're interested in volunteering!
