The Missions Ministry at OSLC exists to… connect the members of this church home to the wider church, thus participating in the Great Commission.  We make and maintain direct mission partnerships that we support through ongoing prayer, financial support, and participating in short-term cross cultural mission trips

Our Mission Ministry Team…  Encourages the congregation and its members to support current mission partners.  We do monthly “Mission Moments” at worship to update on these activities. The mission ministry serve as role models to the congregation in contributing time, talents and treasures in their service regarding mission trips and involvement in local mission partnerships.   

Both Internal and External Goals with this ministry
