Dear Child of God,

I am so glad that you are looking for a church!  The Holy Spirit is working within you, drawing you into the place where you will be blessed.  A church is that very place.

Jesus created churches so that we humans would be part of a community.  But not just any community, but a collection of children and adults guided and protected by the Lord.

Jesus gave His life that you and I would know His astounding grace.  This grace imparts the true peace which we all need.  This grace changes us into Jesus' image, empowering us to imitate Him in compassion, justice, holiness, and forgiveness.

Our congregation is one of millions in the world.  Each is a facet of the jewel of God's love.  God has particularly blessed OPPC with joy, care for each other, powerful prayer, and great faithfulness.  Come and explore our site!  If you are intrigued by what you find, then please join us in worship to discover the Spirit of God in our place.

Your spiritual growth is our deepest concern.  Blessings on you in your journey with God!  If you choose, we would be honored to be your companions on that holy trail.

In the beauty of Christ,

Rev. Charlie Swartz
