The theme of this Oak Leaf is “Rooted in Scripture”, one of East White Oak’s Vital Signs. Our Vital Signs are the DNA of who we are and support the Focus Statement, “Seeking to be Worshipers, Maturing in Christ.”
One of the core truths at East White Oak Bible Church is that we, as growing and maturing disciples, would be Rooted in Scripture.
As a young believer, I developed a love for the Word of God that has, I believe, only grown deeper with each passing year. God’s Word has been an integral part of my discipleship from my earliest days and God has given me a deep faith in its truth, reliability and relevance.

John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. (ESV)
This most famous of Bible verses is rightly famous. It begins with God, who sets the rules for His universe. God’s love is so great that He sent His only Son to this earth to save us. Whoever believes in Jesus will not experience eternal death but instead will experience eternal life.
