Oak Hills Church is led by Senior Minister Randy Frazee and Preaching Minister Max Lucado.  The vision of Oak Hills Church is to see the presence of Christ in every neighborhood, a decision for Christ in every seeker, and the maturity of Christ in every Disciple.

JOURNEY FELLOWSHIP CAMPUS PROFILE

The Journey Fellowship campus is located on I-35 in the growing northeast area of San Antonio (Schertz, Texas).  Schertz has been selected multiple times by Money Magazine as one of the “Best Places to Live in America” due in part to a low cost of living, great schools and convenient access to all the amenities of San Antonio.  

The Journey Fellowship campus of OHC launched with 70 people in the spring of 2005.  From the beginning, Journey has been known for its casual environment and its commitment to reaching the unchurched with the gospel of Christ and seeing their lives changed forever.  Hallmarks of Journey Fellowship include the casual connection center of the JF coffee house and the JF worship center with its unique combination of chairs, bistro tables, and couches.

Today, the Journey Fellowship Campus averages almost 1200 people each weekend and continues to grow.  The JF Campus is comprised of a large number of young families as well as strong children and student ministries.  Baptism is regularly celebrated in worship throughout the year as lives changed by the Gospel are a focal point of celebration and a reminder of our mission.
