Community

We exist to connect people to Jesus.  We want to share the hope we have in Him with the world!  How?  Serving people and sharing Jesus in our church, our community and around the world.

We do this in our local community through:

Our Savior Preschool and Childcare

The Bridge

Local Partnerships

Blood Drives We host Red Cross Blood drives on a quarterly basis.

Live Nativity

An annual event in December on our front lawn (weather permitting) in which our youth act out the Christmas Story as it is read from the bible.  There are Christmas Carols, live animals, and cute preschoolers as our Angel Choir.  Afterward, everyone comes in for a warm drink and some cookies.

Easter Eggstravaganza

An annual event the day before Easter.  We gather to hear the Easter story, then we scatter for a non-competitive egg hunt, crafts, and snacks.  Sometimes there are even some live spring animals to pet, hold and enjoy. 

Prayer Tent and Prayer Walks

We make ourselves availble to our community praying for anyone who might stop by.

Collections of School Supplies, Clothing and Food

Partnering with local DCF and town agencies, we periodically serve those in need.

Thanksgiving Baskets

Food shared with our members and local food banks to help those who may have food insecurity.
