MidWeek
MidWeek at Double Oak is a semester-based ministry designed for all ages to help people grow in spiritual maturity and live in spiritual community. During our MidWeek semesters we begin with an evening meal in our Commons and Worship Room (5:30 pm -6:10 pm) for the family. You can see the weekly menu (and click to RSVP) below.
During MidWeek Spring & Fall Semesters adult discipleship classes will meet on Wednesday nights. Our MidWeek classes are built around seven spiritual foundations found in the life of a disciple of Jesus, discovery classes to help people connect with Christ and our church family, men and women’s gender based studies, andshort term classes focusing on spiritual growth, leadership development, and hot topics.
While adult classes are meeting, there are also studies specifically designed for Preschool (birth-PreK), Kids (K-5th), Middle School (6th-8th) and High School (9th-12th). Click on the links provided below for more information on their schedules.

Man Church | Impact | C-11 | Mark Berthiaume
In 2 Peter 1:5–8, Peter provides a list of attributes every Christian should pursue. Peter gave an excellent explanation for why striving to obtain these attributes is so important. He said that if Christ-followers “own” these attributes and continue to grow in them, their lives would be effective and fruitful for the Kingdom of God. This fruitfulness should be the goal of every mature Christian. This semester of IMPACT will focus on the attributes of self-control and steadfastness.
Be Joyful | An Inductive Bible Study of the Book of Philippians | Annex | Bobby Wilson
Philippians overflows with often quoted passages: “He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus” (Philippians 1:6), “To live is Christ and to die is gain” (1:21), and “I can do all things through Him who strengthens me” (4:13). Paul’s joy at the mere thought of the Philippian church is undeniable in the letter, and it’s that same joy that he wanted the recipients to possess as well. To lead the Philippians to this truth, Paul took them directly to Jesus, teaching them that a community of believers living in harmony with one another comes only through mutual humility modeled after the Savior. Paul wrote that he poured out his life as an offering for Christ’s sake, leading him to find great joy and contentment in Christ’s service. His letter to the Philippians showed them that by centering their lives on Christ, they, too, might live in true joy.
