History
Hopkins County does not need another church. It needs another kind of church — a church for people who don’t typically go to church. That’s what Shannon Oaks is.
We believe that, just like Jesus, the local church should be irresistible. People should want to wake up on Sunday morning and go to church. Our desire is to be people’s number one option on Sunday morning, first because of what we do and ultimately because of what we believe.
This vision led the Shannon Oaks Church of Christ, which was established in 1977, to shed its denominational heritage and become a community church in 2003. Since that time, we’ve seen scores of people come to know Jesus Christ in a personal way. With the arrival of John Alan Turner as Lead Pastor in the spring of 2010, we believe Shannon Oaks is poised to advance the borders of God’s kingdom in Sulphur Springs, Hopkins County and beyond.
