Connecting with God

The Sacrament of the Lord’s Supper is celebrated during the first Sunday morning services of every month.

The Sacrament of Baptism is celebrated as scheduled after consultation with the pastoral staff.

Reflecting our commitment to children and families, our church provides child care during Sunday School (9:30am – 10:15am during the school year) and our 10:30 a.m. worship service. Our nursery welcomes children from birth through three years old. We will resume our Nursery operations on September 18.

It is the responsibility and desire of the OPC Worship Committee to ensure that the Congregation finds meaning and is renewed by our services. 

If you would like to contribute to worship either as a lay reader, usher, greeter, or by donating chancel flowers, please feel free to sign up in the Narthex. Children are also invited to participate as Acolytes, bringing the light of Christ to the Communion table, or announcing the Children’s Message.

Music is an integral part of worship and OPC is proud of the talents of our congregation. Both our Chancel Choir and Bells of Praise Choir include members from high school age and up. Una Voce, our women’s choir, performs periodically throughout the year, always blessing us with their talent. Over the summers, the choirs are on break and the church welcomes volunteers each Sunday to perform the Special Music for the worship services. The Music Committee is chaired by Peter Slauch, our Chancel Choir Director and Bells of Praise Director.

Prior to COVID, the Bells of Praise practiced Wednesday evenings from 6:30-7:30 in the Sanctuary, followed by Chancel Choir practice at 7:30 p.m.  If you are interested in joining any of our musical groups, please contact the church office for the most current status and schedule.

Children of the church are encouraged to join in the worship of the church by bringing the light of Christ to the Communion table candles or ringing the bell before 10:30 a.m. worship

The OPC youth ministry is energetic and relational. Building on our foundation of children’s Sunday School, our goal is provide a genuine, caring community where young people can discover what it means to be followers of Jesus Christ in our increasingly secular world. We invite you to come to our events and gatherings, check us out, and hopefully find an open, welcoming place where you can simply be yourself.

Our Youth Fellowship is open to youth in grades 7 through 12. The Junior High group (grades 7-9) will meet every first Sunday of the month and (grades 10-12) will meet every third Sunday of the month 6:30pm-8pm. Check the calendar for upcoming ways in which you can get involved.

Children’s Church was available during our 10:30 worship services before COVID. We are in the process of bringing this ministry back and will post updated information here as it becomes available.
