Oakhurst Baptist Church

International Partnerships

• Bread for the World
• Cuba Partnership Mission Group
  • Since 2005, Oakhurst has partnered with the Bethania Baptist Church in Perico, Cuba, and with its pastors, Olga Rodriguez and her daughter, Haydee.  Our yearly visits to the island are for fellowship, education, inspiration, enlightenment, and encouragement—all of which flows both ways across the narrow stretch of water that separates our two countries.
