We're Glad You're Here
Join us as we live out our faith in Jesus.
Our Mission
“To live by faith, to be known by love, and to be a voice of hope.”
1. We're Fun!
We love to hang out over a cuppa coffee, attend or host events, or work side by side to get things done. You'll find we do a lot of these things and enjoying each other's company as we go.
Sundays...
As soon as you walk in, you'll be greeted by down to earth people. You'll hear laughter in the hallways and chatter as we gather. We sincerely pray that you sense God's love as you join us.
We're a small, close knit church family and always have room for more friends. We'll genuinely want to know you and see if there's ways we can help each other. Some of us have been friends since before high school and some of us are fairly new as we explore faith.
Do you have a story? Feel free to share... And we could tell you stories, too...and most likely will!
2. We Love Our Community.
We love our Oshkosh community and appreciate all the services available. We often work with an ever growing list of organizations.
We collaborate with other churches, food pantries, Day by Day Shelter, Loaves and Fishes, public and private schools, the police department, mental health, parenting resources, and other services.
3. We Have Lots of Great Events.
So many ways to get together! Here's just a few!
* Throughout the school year we offer Parents’ Night Out, special events and programs around our Fall Kickoff (Rally Sunday) after Labor Day, Christmas and Easter.
* Before the holidays, our annual bazaar is a true highlight. It offers amazing handcrafted items, fresh bakery, favorite holiday decor and even a section of thrifty treasures.
* Our church groups host special speakers onsite, head to TimberRattlers games, create and sell items at our own talent auction (did someone say pie?) and have a friendly competition with our fabulous chili cookoff.
* In the summer, we love to get together for picnics and road trips. Have an idea? Let us know! We collaborate with other area churches for movie nights, VBS and other outings.
