OAK HILLS PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH

What OAK HILLS PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH does

Oak Hills Presbyterian Church is a small, privately held nonprofit Presbyterian congregation founded in 1957 and headquartered at 6739 Callaghan Road, San Antonio, Texas, in the South Texas Medical Center / Oak Hills neighborhood. The church operates a single campus serving individual congregants and families seeking traditional Presbyterian worship, spiritual formation, and community connection, with self-reported emphasis on being "small in size with a large heart for service."

Its core offerings are weekly Sunday worship services at 10:30 a.m., supported by a portfolio of community programs including bi-weekly Bible study (with Zoom option), a monthly book club, children's ministry using the "Holy Moly" curriculum, a Wednesday-rehearsing choir, and an annual Ron & Idalia Harmon Scholarship for member students. The church's underlying technology is minimal: a Church Co-powered website, YouTube live streaming at @OakHillsPresbyterianChurch for remote participation, archived digital sermons, and an online giving platform. Its most distinctive physical assets are musical — a 2004 custom Ballard pipe organ (27 ranks, approximately 1,600 pipes) and a 1961 Steck "Petit Grand" piano donated in October 2025 — which anchor a music ministry that functions as a qualitative differentiator for the worship experience.

The business model is a nonprofit donation model: revenue is generated almost entirely from voluntary tithes, offerings, and online donations by congregation members, with no fee-based services, no products for sale, and no publicly disclosed budget figures. The church is governed by a Session (board of elders) and is currently led by three interim pastors (Rev. Esther Russell-Hughes, Rev. Sandra Murphy, and Rev. Thomas Martinez) alongside Music Director and Organist Gregory A. Nussel while it searches for a permanent pastor. There is no parent company, no subsidiaries, no funding rounds, and no M&A activity; the organization operates on a flat cost structure with approximately 10 employees.
