We are a ministry for all 6th through 12th graders. Through Bible-based teaching, committed volunteers, and a little bit of fun, we aim to build deep roots in students' walk with Christ that will continue to grow for a lifetime.

Equipping Hour is a Sunday school class rooted in God's Word to address topics relevant to students.
Classes start before the main service and run alongside adult Equipping Hour. After class, students join parents and the rest of the congregation for the Sunday service, where we sing, pray, and preach the Word of God.

From Chris
Welcome to OSM! Our primary goal is to compliment and support the discipleship efforts of parents. We understand the crucial role that family plays in spiritual development, and we aim to come alongside parents to equip students to grow in their relationship with Jesus. Together, we strive to cultivate in the hearts of students a strong foundation for a deep and lasting connection with Christ.
OSM has a team of volunteers who are not only passionate about their faith but are also committed to investing in the next generation. These volunteers are valued members of our church, driven by the shared goal of seeing students put their faith in Jesus and walk with Him forever. Their love, guidance, and commitment create an environment where students can grow spiritually.
Central to our identity is a love for the Bible and a genuine commitment to holiness. We believe in the transformative power of God's Word and its ability to shape the hearts and minds of all ages. We explore the timeless truths of the Bible and seek to apply them in ways that are relevant to the challenges and questions students have about their world.
OSM is a space welcome to all students. Students are encouraged to bring friends to any and all events as we seek to be a place that welcomes students as we have been welcomed by Christ. Students can come to grow in their faith or hear about Jesus for the first time.
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact me.

Camping
Summer & Fall
Every Summer and Fall we take our students on a camping trip for a time of outdoor fun, games, deeper connections and gospel conversations.
In recent years, we've gone to Clarity Camp during the Summer and North Carolina State Parks during the fall.
