ATTENDANCE

I debated whether or not to include this information on a web site that can be seen by the entire world, then realized we don't have anything in which to hide or boast. We are a congregation of God's people who are doing their best to do God's work. The numbers here say a lot about who we really are, how we worship and where we place God in our hearts. We have come a long way and yet have much work to do.

With well over half of our current members worshipping weekly, I think we can safely say the OSL Church is surviving and thriving. Members here are active in many aspects of the church and if we can do God's work with 60.9% of our members attending weekly, imagine what we could accomplish with 85-90%, or even 100%.
