What to Expect at our Worship Services

  • Our services consist of Songs of Worship and Praise, Prayer, Confession & Forgiveness, Holy Communion, Reading from Scripture, our Statement of Belief (The Apostles' Creed), the Lord's Prayer, a Kids Message, an Opportunity to Give, and a Sermon.
  • During the school year, Kids leave before the sermon to attend Kids Connect. Learn more about Kids Connect (PreK-5th grade)
  • We encourage folks to use the Church Center App for Sermon Notes, filling out a Connection Card, and Electronic Giving.
  • Visitors are not expected to give an offering.

What About Communion?

  • We celebrate the Lord's Supper almost every Sunday.
  • Baptized adult Christians who know they need God’s daily forgiveness, who are sorry for their sins and seek God’s forgiveness, and who believe that the body and blood of Jesus Christ are truly present in the Lord’s Supper are invited to share this great gift of God with us.
  • We have an annual "First Communion" class for instruction on Holy Communion. People as young as the 5th Grade may attend. Check out Faith Milestones.

Music

  • The Worship Arts Ministry is led by Gerod Bass. Music on Sundays is led by Gerod or one of our worship leaders, along with a worship team.
  • The teams consist of several singers, acoustic & electric guitars, keyboards, bass guitar, drums, and various other instruments.
  • We use new worship songs by modern hymn writers. We also sing our favorite older hymns and sometimes arrange them in a new style.
  • Several times a year, our Celebration Choir or Kids Choir will share songs during the services.
  • The words of the songs, scripture, liturgical elements and Sermon outlines are projected.
  • We utilize environmental projection and special lighting to help us focus our worship experience.

The Sermon

  • At OSLC, Sunday sermons are usually part of a series. Sermon series are focused on a particular topic or study, and typically run several weeks.
  • Sermon notes can be found on the Church Center App, or on the handout you receive when you enter the Worship Center.
