Serving Our Community
Oak Hills partners with organizations in Rochester and surrounding communities. In doing so we seek to live out our belief that being a wholly devoted follower of Jesus Christ means serving others.
Here are just some of the ministies we serve:
Dorothy Day House
The Dorothy Day Hospitality House provides short-term, live-in situation for people who are homeless or in a personal crisis and need shelter and food.
On the 5th Monday a team cooks a meal for the Dorothy Day House.
Volunteer on the 2nd and 4th Saturdays of each month. Click the link above for more information.
In addition to financial support as part of our regular mission budget, volunteers serve where needed.
Volunteers ring bells at Christmas and help at the thrift store. Additionally, during our Christmas Eve service, we take an offering to support the benevelolence ministry of Oak Hills in the coming year. 10% of whatever is given in that offering is given to our local Salvation Army.
CareFest provides a great opportunity for the local body of Christ to minister to our community, demonstrating Jesus’ love in tangible and meaningful ways. Our desire is to serve individuals in need and community-enhancing organizations like the schools, parks, and other people-helping non-profits.
In His Name

In His Name makes use of high quality surplus food. Each month In His Name provides large boxes of food worth about $70 at a cost of only $15 per box that includes a lot of fresh produce, dairy, bakery, canned goods, and some meat.

Volunteers pack the boxes from 9:00-11:00 a.m. People and churches pick up their boxes between 11:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. For a nominal charge of $15 per box, people receive about $70 worth of food that includes a lot of fresh produce, dairy, bakery, canned goods, and some meat.
More volunteers are always welcome and needed.

Fair Trade
The coffee, tea, and hot chocolate we serve every week are certified fair trade.
We believe that Scripture teaches us to seek justice for and protect the people Jesus referred to as "the least of these." We can do that as individuals and as a community of believers by buying products such as coffee, sugar, cocoa, and produce that is fairly and ethically traded.
According to Merriam-Webster, “Fair Trade” is a “movement whose goal is to help producers in developing countries to get a fair price for their products so as to reduce poverty, provide for the ethical treatment of workers and farmers, and promote environmentally sustainable practices.”
FairTradeUSA.org says Fair Trade is practiced in over 50,000 communities in North America, and benefits “more than 1.2 million farming families in 70 developing countries across Africa, Asia, and Latin America.” The Fair Trade market includes a variety of goods from foods, beverages and spices to personal care products, clothing, and crafts.
