Plan Your Visit

We are glad you're here.

Are you looking for lasting hope?

We believe that we live in a world devoid of hope. People are looking everywhere for some type of hope in this caustic, hate filled, and divided world. We, imperfect people at best, have found real and lasting hope in the person of Jesus Christ. It is our goal to be an authentic, fun, and welcoming church where people who do not have it all together, just like us, find this hope. Will you join us on this journey of faith and discovery?

It’s not about coming TO something, it’s about finding someone and becoming something

We would be so excited to meet you and introduce ourselves to you. Scroll down to see some FAQ’s about what to expect and to plan a visit with us

Frequently Asked Questions

YES! We are everyday, normal, messy people finding hope in Christ. We are very relational and try to foster a spiritual 'family' type of community atmosphere. EVERYONE FITS IN because we are all misfits needing grace and hope. There is no one better than anyone else at the OD. We all come from different stages of life, and from different backgrounds. Each person has their own unique story, but we find that each story has one common element: we all need Jesus.

We worship, we pray, and we are encouraged and challenged from God's Word. We worship by: clapping, singing, playing instruments, raising hands, closing eyes, standing, and kneeling; all of which are expressions of worship that you will find in the Bible. There is a specific time during the service where people can approach our prayer partners for personal prayer for anything, and we will provide time at the close of the service for people to receive prayer from our pastors and prayer partners.

Our services typically last around 90 minutes. However, at the same time, we prioritize being sensitive to God's presence, and what He desires to do. In regards to giving, there is no pressure here! We do believe in living generously and giving tithes and offerings to the Lord for what He has done, but we do not have a formal offering time during our service. We have giving boxes located in the lobby and worship center, and people can give online, as well. We do NOT expect guests to give, but we do pray that members and regular attenders will choose to support the church, as the Lord lays it on their heart to do so.

We realize that we live in perilous times where violence and threat have infiltrated places that were once thought to be safe. We have a dedicated team of volunteers that comprise our security/safety ministry team. They are constantly watching and observing the entire campus (interior/exterior) for concerns. We keep the exterior doors of our Kids Church and Preschool/Nursery locked, however, parents attending worship always have access to our children through our security team.
