"I’m not home until I go to church" The church is where I can come to confront anything that’s challenging me. Wherever I travel, I’m not home until I go to church. It’s the one place I always feel supported and completely fed on every level. I never need to hide anything here.

"What an amazing place... to share in Spirit " We feel so connected to our spiritual home, OCSL, a warm and welcoming community where we experience support, friendship and opportunity to give, in service.  What an  amazing place to raise our son and share in Spirit with all. ~ Katie, Lois and Wade
