Worship with Us!

DiscipleSHIFT: Member 2 Disciple

Jesus calls us to follow him, to become disciples and to make disciples. People of faith fall short of answering this call when they settle for church membership in place of discipleship. DiscipleSHIFT is the movement from church membership to an authentic discipleship that activates the Kingdom of God within our lives.

Experience music, prayers, and preaching this Sunday with us.

Sunday at 10:30 am
In-Person or Online

Sermon: Serving

Pastor Frank Waugh
Scripture: Hebrews 1:1-4; 2:5-12 | Psalm 8:3-9 | John 21:15-19

We gave our preschool families a warm and wonderful welcome!

Thank you to all those who helped to welcome the parents of Our Saviour Preschool on the morning of September 26. It was a joyful gathering! Thank you for sharing your baking skills, hosting skills and for showing God’s love to our preschool families!

Thank you for a successful celebration!

The Matthew 25 50,000 luncheon was a huge success thanks to the great M25 team. Those that make lunches, drivers, shoppers and Panera pickup, were amazing in making this a wonderful ministry of OSLC. We also thank those that contributed to the raffle and auction. Through the congregations support we raised over $2000 for the M25 “Feed the Hungry” campaign. Thank you all.
