Oakwood Church

What Oakwood Church does

Oakwood Church is a Christian nonprofit church established in 1982 and headquartered at 2154 Loop 337 N in New Braunfels, Texas. It serves the local community through three Sunday worship services (8:00, 9:30, and 11:00 AM), online livestreaming, an archived sermon media library, and a mobile app. The church operates an extensive ministry ecosystem covering Kids, Students, Men, Women, Marriage, Parenting, and Special Needs (Mark 9) programs, alongside Small Groups, Counseling, a Business Advisory service, a Church Library, and a Sewing Ministry that supports Options for Life.

The church generates revenue primarily through voluntary tithes and offerings processed via the Shelby Giving platform, supplemented by tuition from its Mother's Day Out (MDO) program, which provides weekday childcare for children ages 6 months through Pre-K on Tuesdays and Thursdays from September through May. MDO tuition is structured at $250/month per child, with a non-refundable $200 registration fee. Technology infrastructure is built on third-party SaaS: SnapPages for the website, Planning Center Online for worship team scheduling, iPrayerWorks for online prayer requests, and a partnership with RightNow Media providing free access to over 20,000 Bible study videos and 2,000 children's videos.

Oakwood is led by a pastoral staff including Senior Pastor Ray Still, Rusty Rice, Robert Parrish, Jordan Cash (Spiritual Formation), Dale Bynum (Small Groups), and Will Stevens (Worship Pastor), with Kim Cloud directing the MDO program. The church maintains community partnerships with New Braunfels Christian Ministries (NBCM) for Kids Club outreach and Volunteers in Medicine, and operates entirely from a single campus. There is no parent company, no external investment, and revenue is not publicly disclosed consistent with nonprofit status.

Scale indicators2 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Gateway Church: Texas-based multi-campus church with strong streaming, mobile app, and family ministry infrastructure. Competes for the same North/Central Texas commuter audience and represents the scaled version of Oakwood's model.
• Fellowship Church: Large multi-site Texas-based church (Grapevine campus plus satellite locations) with extensive children's, student, marriage, and online media programming. Comparable ministry breadth and digital content investment, but at materially greater scale.
• Watermark Community Church: Large Dallas-area non-denominational church with multiple ministries (Marriage, Parenting, Recovery, Special Needs) and a community-focused programming model. Overlaps with Oakwood's ministry-by-demographic approach at significantly larger scale.
• KinderCare: Large national provider of early childhood education and daycare programs, including preschool and Pre-K. Comparable operating model to Oakwood's MDO program with similar age range, recurring tuition, and licensing/regulatory profile.
• Christ Fellowship Church: Large multi-site non-denominational church with Kids, Students, Marriage, and Special Needs ministries, plus a counseling center. Highly comparable ministry architecture and demographic targeting.
• North Point Community Church: Large Atlanta-based non-denominational church known for small-groups-first strategy and digital content. Represents a scaled, digital-forward analog to Oakwood's small-groups and livestream emphasis.
• Primrose Schools: National franchise-based early childhood education and daycare provider. Directly comparable to Oakwood's MDO preschool offering in terms of service delivered, age range served (6 weeks through Pre-K), and tuition-driven subscription model.

Regional players

• Oakwood Baptist Church (other locations): Other Baptist/non-denominational 'Oakwood'-named congregations operating in different U.S. geographies. Useful as a peer reference for independent mid-size Christian churches with similar ministry structures, though not co-located with Oakwood in New Braunfels.

Direct peers

• First Baptist Church New Braunfels: A fellow long-standing Christian church located in New Braunfels, TX serving a comparable family demographic with Sunday services, children's ministry, and community outreach. Directly competes for the same local congregants.
• Gruene United Methodist Church: A nearby Christian church in the New Braunfels / Gruene area offering traditional worship, children's programs, and small groups. Comparable in size, mission, and local catchment to Oakwood Church.
