Our Pillars of Belief
Pillars of Belief are the core of OGNA.
Our Mission
To create a safe, diverse, stable, and enriched community. This goal is executed through our use of subcommittees and monthly meetings.
We work to maintain an aesthetic that lends itself to Oak Grove diverse and historic architecture.
We leverage our voice to see fair city services.
We know that this work also relies on the environment so working to protect, expand, and encourage tree canopy to assist with combating urban heat.
Dignity is the most practical way to put people first. Without dignity what is the purpose.
— Charles Snellings, Founder
