As members of the body of Christ in this place and time, we are a welcoming congregation of people who gather to worship God, to share life together, to grow in love for each other and to be shaped by God’s Word, with the purpose of living out God’s love and being a sign of God’s loving and forgiving presence in our community and world. We hope you will join us!

The Abundance Budget 2025-26
What is “The Abundance Budget”? It is the budget for Fiscal Year 2025-2026 that shows that the OSLC congregation believes that our God is a god of ABUNDANCE and not of SCARCITY. It is a step of faith to show that we believe God owns all and we are but caretakers of HIS world including what we think WE “own.”
Based on our current attendance and giving patterns, the approval of this budget at the Annual Meeting on June 8, 2025 is a stretch for this congregation. Can we each give more in contributions to reach the goal? All it takes is the cost of a cup of fancy coffee each week. Stop by the display in the Narthex to receive your “cup.” We will add your collections to the BIG coffee pot the 1st Sunday of every month.
