I will listen to what the Lord is saying, for he is speaking peace to his faithful people, and to those who turn their hearts to him. ~Psalm 85:8

Because spiritual formation is a life-long journey, at COOS we have Christian education opportunities for all ages. Please check our Events Calendar for upcoming special lectures, forums, classes and activities for children, youth, and adults. Children's Christian Education, Youth Group and the Adult Forum meet on Sunday mornings, 9:45-10:45 a.m., from September through May.
