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 and 11:00 AM worship service. Our nursery welcomes children from birth through three years old. We will resume our Nursery operations in October.

It is the responsibility and desire of the OPC Worship Committee to ensure that the Congregation finds meaning and is renewed by our services. This committee is currently led by Laura King.

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. For our littlest members we offer the Kids of the Kingdom Choir who treat us throughout the year with their voices and pageants. Una Voce ,our women’s choir, performs periodically throughout the year, always blessing us with their talent. The Music Committee is made up of Peter Slauch, our Chancel Choir Director and Bells of Praise Director and Allison Perry, Kids of the Kingdom Director.

If you’d like to be a part of one of our music groups, the Bells of Praise practices Wednesday evenings from 6:30-7:30 in the Sanctuary, followed by Chancel Choir practice at 7:30 p.m. Kids of the Kingdom practices at 10:30 a.m. on Sunday mornings after Sunday School in the KOK room on the first floor.

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 11:00AM 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 and meets every other Sunday night from 6:30-8:00 PM. We also host many events throughout the year as well as our annual Summer Mission trip. Check the calendar for upcoming ways in which you can get involved.

Children’s Church meets most Sundays during the 11:00 service on Sundays (or the combined 9:30 service during the summer), starting after the Children’s Sermon. Children’s Church is for kids ages 3-Kindergarten and will resume in October.
