Oakbrook Church
About Oakbrook Church
On Sunday, June 16, our Lead Pastor, Mark Malin shared about what’s next for him and for our church. In recent years, with the help of our board, lead team and other mentors, we have been praying, reading, discussing and seeking God in the area of leadership succession for Oakbrook. After much prayer and wise counsel, Mark has felt God clearly leading him to a new ministry assignment. Mark has accepted a new position as the Multisite Director for Northview Church. In this role he will be overseeing Northview’s Campus Pastors at each of their multi-site locations as well as helping them start new campuses.
It is a clear fit for Mark’s passion and giftedness.
Through conversations around Mark’s new role at Northview, discussions began between Northview Church and Oakbrook Church about the possibility of merging the two churches together. The leadership from both churches were guided by two important questions:
Could our churches be better together?
Could we have greater influence for the Kingdom of God if we joined together?
After much discussion and prayer, the leadership of both churches has decided that the answer to those questions is yes!
This church adoption is about saying yes to a grander vision of influence that we believe God has for both churches. Therefore, Oakbrook’s Board of Directors and Northview’s Board of Elders have unanimously voted to bring our two great churches together.
