Thought for Today

Matthew 21:42 "...The stone the builders rejected has become the capstone..."

  • Being the Church The church is not a building, but a body of believers with a specific nature and purpose.
    Bible Studies We have Ladies' Bible Studies; men's Bible Studies; Group Backyard Bible Studies with Cookouts; and more!
    Community We work in our Community to get God's Word Out to Everyone. We provide many community events throughout the Year.
  • Praise & Worship
    We are the Church! We are out in our community sharing God's Word. For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
    Missions
    OUMC provides many mission projects throughout the year in our area and beyond. Salvation Army, Homeless Shelter, Harbor House, East Elementary School-NP, Dress-a-Child, Share-a-Christmas, Food Pantry
    Group Fellowship
    Otterbein Faith Fellowship, Youth Groups for all Ages, Prayer Groups, Dartball, Java with Jesus, Choir, Easter Egg Hunt, St. Nick Breakfast, Back to School Bash, Family & Youth Movie Nights, Bible Studies
  • Faith
    Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. Psalm 46:10 Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth! John 8:24 unless you believe that I am who I claim to be, you will die in your sins.
    Hope
    Romans 15:13 May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope. Jeremiah 29: 11 11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
    Love
    1 Corinthians 13:4-5: Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 1 Corinthians 13: 13 So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

An open invitation

It is said that "practice makes perfect". This is an ideal that is not easily attained; but no doubt practice can make one better. As Christians, we need practice to be the best we can be. An essential part of that is a home church, like Otterbein UMC, that can provide guidance through Biblical preaching and teaching and nurturing by a caring church family. A home church can provide support in times of physical or spiritual need. The apostle Paul, said in Romans 12:4-5, "just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to the others." Without regular attendance at a home church, the support for Christian living, and for one another suffers. We at Otterbein are proud to say that God is alive and well at our church. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is preached, taught, learned, and shared. We pray that you and your loved ones will accept this invitation to connect with God through attending our church and experiencing the love of Jesus through our worship and fellowship.

Fellowship Time is before church at 10:00am. Coffee / Cookies
