At Live Oaks Community Church, we believe the church is more than a building—it’s a family. No matter where you’ve been or what you’ve done, you are welcome here. This is a place to discover the hope and healing found in Jesus, grow deeper in your faith, and join others in living out God’s love.

Here, you’re not just another face in the crowd. You’re a cherished part of the body of Christ, and together, we are on a journey to love, serve, and proclaim the name of Jesus to a world that needs Him.

When Live Oaks started in 2012, we gathered together to launch a church that would love, disciple, and equip The Villages and beyond.

Today, our church is a diverse group from various church backgrounds that values Bible teaching, an authentic, welcoming community where we find friends to do life with, and find ways to discover our gifts to serve and make a difference in the lives of others.

We love to gather, but we know it’s not just about getting together. Church is more than a place to go. It’s who we are as followers of Christ.

Live Oaks Community Church is a vibrant, Jesus-centered family united in worship, discipleship, and mission. Everything we do flows from our love for Jesus and our desire to glorify God in every aspect of our lives.

We are:

A Worshipping Family

We gather to honor and glorify Jesus, experiencing His presence through heartfelt worship, prayer, and the teaching of His Word. Our lives are a response to His grace, filled with thanksgiving and praise.

A Fellowship of Small Groups

We believe that spiritual growth happens best in authentic relationships. In our small groups, we encourage one another, dive into Scripture, and share life’s ups and downs as we grow together in Christ.

A Passion for Discipleship

Jesus calls us to make disciples. At LOCC, we’re passionate about helping each person grow in their faith, equipping them to follow Jesus fully and share His love with others.

A Serving Community

Following Jesus means serving others. Whether inside our church or in the surrounding community, we joyfully use our gifts to meet needs, show compassion, and demonstrate Christ’s love in action.

A Missional Calling

Jesus sent His followers into the world to proclaim the Good News, and we embrace that mission. Locally and globally, we are committed to sharing the hope of the Gospel and making an eternal impact for His kingdom.

Check out the story of what God has done at LOCC in our brief but wonderful history. God wrote the script, the people of Live Oaks lived it out, and Pastor Chris Holck took notes. Enjoy!
