• Summary:Serving the Oakwood neighborhood of Norfolk since 1889, Oakwood Chapel Church of Christ is a youth-focused, soul-winning congregation whose mission is to win souls for Jesus Christ here and everywhere — its long history is documented in a 2009 history by Dr. Eaddy. The church emphasizes member education through an Oakwood Discipleship Diploma (116 credit hours) and a Library Ministry with an on-site library (upstairs), computer lab, monthly library meetings, and an online catalog and book club that often meets via Zoom. Outreach includes the endowed Christ Fund (roughly $40,000) that awards two $1,000 scholarships annually, a Food Bank and Clothes Closet with regular monthly distributions and a Dress-for-Success project, a tutoring program (September–June), and longstanding community traditions such as a Thanksgiving Dinner (since 1978). Services are livestreamed each Sunday at 11:30 AM and the church stays connected via Facebook and YouTube, while youth ministries feature a dedicated game room and weekly activities alongside regular community events like teas, Family Fun Night and an annual Sweetheart’s Ball.
