Our 2025/2026 Book Club season kicks off on September 4th with a discussion of Who Is A True Christian by theologian David Congdon. We are honored to have the author join us live on Zoom for this discussion! RSVP today to join us for this discussion and grab your copy of the book!

We are looking for people who are passionate about growing an inclusive, inspiring, and impactful expression of Christian spirituality. Are you ready to join a ministry team that is making a difference?

The OSC Book Club will start up again in September and we want your help picking our next round of selections! This year our monthly sessions will include the authors live on Zoom! This means you will have the opportunity to meet the authors and ask them your questions.

Season 11 of The Collective Table podcast will highlight stories of empathy. While some Christian leaders are promoting the idea that empathy is a sin, we think it is a vital aspect of love. Can you recall a time when your empathy for someone moved you to take action in ways that stretched you to grow?

June was a busy month at OSC! In addition to our Mission 2030 Dreaming Sunday, Pride Sunday, Fathers Day, and our annual Congregational Meeting, we also conducted our annual Supporting Member drive. Today we want to offer a sincere thanks to all who continued their Supporting Memberships and all who signed up for the first time.

In response to continued steady growth, The Oceanside Sanctuary members present at yesterday’s annual congregational meeting unanimously approved a change three proposals: 1) A chage to our bylaws, 2) our Fiscal Year 2025/2025 Board slate, and 3) Our Fiscal Year 2025/2026 budget. Below is a summary of the decisions made.

It is with full hearts and a touch of bittersweet emotion that we share some important news: our beloved Family Minister, Claire Watson, will soon be transitioning off staff at Oceanside Sanctuary. This past Saturday, Claire was officially ordained as a minister in the United Methodist Church, an incredible milestone that opens the door to a new chapter.
