Our Beliefs
- The Holy Bible was written by men divinely inspired and is God’s revelation of Himself to humanity. It has God for its author, salvation for its end, and truth without any mixture of error for its matter.
- Christ Jesus is the Son of God and was born of a virgin. He lived a sinless life, died on a cross for the sin of all humanity and was resurrected from the dead. He lives today at the right hand of God the Father interceding for believers.
- Salvation is a gift from God, which cannot be earned. Salvation is based upon God’s grace and is extended to all those who will turn from living for self, place their faith in the work of Jesus, and live with Him as their Lord.
Mission:
We are driven by the passion to
know Jesus Christ,
grow in His ways, and
go for Him all of our days.

Bro. Shane has served as pastor of Oak Hill since 2015. A native of South Carolina, the United States Air Force and God’s call to ministry have taken him to the “uttermost parts” of the earth and back, then placed him here in Poplarville, Mississippi. Shane is married to Ashley Meyers of Ponchatoula, Louisiana; they have a son, Caleb, and two daughters, Kayleigh and Kyleigh Grace. He enjoys sharing his faith in Christ, military history, farming, hunting, college football, and spending time with family. Though Shane separated from active duty military service when he was called to pastor Oak Hill in 2015, he continues to serve as a Chaplain with the Mississippi Air National Guard. He credits the U.S. Air Force with paying for his education, saying, “The G.I. Bill is a glorious contribution!” Bro. Shane holds a Bachelor of Science in Secondary Education from Louisiana Tech University, and has also earned both the Master of Divinity and Doctor of Ministry degrees from New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary. He currently serves as an adjunct instructor of Old and New Testament Survey classes at Pearl River Community College, allowing him to share his lifelong love of learning and of God’s Word with the students there. The Moore family loves Oak Hill Baptist Church, the people of Poplarville, and the great state of Mississippi! Shane’s prayer is that his ministry here will glorify Jesus Christ through winning the lost and by equipping the saints for God’s service, mobilizing them to make disciples. Shane believes that we’ve been placed at Oak Hill to know Christ, grow in His ways, and go for Him all of our days; as he frequently says, “It’s rigged for our good and God’s glory!”


Mike Magee has attended Oak Hill since moving to Poplarville in 1997 and has been leading worship here since November of 2009. He believes that praising God through music draws us closer to Him both as individuals and as a body of believers and hopes that you will be blessed by each song that’s sung and every note that’s played during our worship services! Mike’s involvement in church music began with Preschool Choir and has continued ever since, as a choir member, vocal and instrumental performer, and currently as Minister of Music at Oak Hill. While Oak Hill’s worship services are a blend of classic hymns and contemporary favorites, Mike’s personal musical interests range from Gregorian chant to bluegrass gospel and almost everything in between.
