Children’s Worship

Worship bags: Parents, you are invited to pick up worship bags for your children in the Children’s Corner before the worship service, for 4 years old to 5th grade. (located in the sanctuary near the restrooms).

Children (beginning at age 4) attend the first part of the worship service. After a brief children’s message designed especially for them, a children’s leader will escort them to the Children’s corner located in the sanctuary or they may return to sit with their parents for the remainder of the service.

Nursery for Children

A nursery is provided in Building A just behind the Sanctuary to the left (campus map PDF) during all worship services and Sunday School for infants and toddlers (birth-3 years old). 
 

 

What We Believe

The 66 Books of the Bible are the primary source of the knowledge of God and God’s will. The Bible forms our foundation. It is the story of human interactions with God and forms the basis for knowledge and wisdom for daily living. It shows us how God intends for us to be. Sure SOPC has a mission statement and vision statement (see the home page) to guide us in today’s world, but it really boils down to a few simple guiding principles:
 
Love God. Love Others
 
“ ’Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’
This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’
All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.” Mathew 22:37
 
Furthermore, we reaffirm our faith every Sunday by reading/reciting The Apostles’ Creed:
 
I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord; Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; he descended into hell; the third day he rose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost; the holy catholic church; the communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

Looking to become a believer, grow in your spirituality, or maybe just satisfy your curiosity?

In any case, we look forward to meeting you!

“If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in him and he in God. And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him.” 1 John 4: 15

Please read below to find out more about ReShape!
 

 

Why

  • It is time for us to come together. Listen to one another, pray and study together, and consider what God has in store for us as expressions of the body of Christ.

What

  • SOPC is starting a listening and discernment initiative called “Re-Shape”. We have hired the Pinnacle Leadership Group to help facilitate this process.  There are six other churches who will go through this process at the same time, so that we can all benefit from each others’ experiences. Re-Shape differs from traditional approaches, in that it involves the whole congregation, not just the pastor and the session. We will learn about the issues, assess them with the guidance of Pinnacle Leadership, and determine how we best grow into more complete disciples of Christ.

Who

  • All who are in search of becoming a greater expression of the body of Christ (you do NOT need to be a member, anyone is welcome)!

Where

  • At church, in homes, in restaurants and coffee shops, in parks, wherever your group decides to meet.

When

  • Planning and volunteer recruitment is going on now. A Launch event is planned for Sunday, September 12 immediately following worship. Lunch and childcare will be provided. Small groups will begin work the week of September 13-17 and continue for weekly for eight weeks until the week of November 1-5.

How

  • EVERYONE is strongly encouraged to participate as a part of a small group. The small groups will meet weekly for eight weeks, using a carefully designed process by Pinnacle Leadership that is designed to guide us. The small group process will lead to an informed and well discerned series of observations and recommendations that will be provided to a Coordinating Committee to compile into a final report for approval by the Session.
 

Above all, pray and answer the call for tomorrow here at SOPC!

In love and peace,

Pastor Jana Creighton
