Pastor's Discretionary Ministry

Oakdale Emory has shared the financial gifts with our neighbors in needs. For years, the worshippers have generously given a discretionary offering, and a dozen of the needy neighbors in our community each week have gracefully received the discretionary assistance for food, housing, or utility. The fund was used solely at the discretion of the pastors for charitable purposes consistent with the Christ's teachings on care for the needy.
