Weddings & Holy Matrimony

ii.

Baptism & Confirmation

Baptism welcomes children and adults into the Body of Christ; confirmation prepares youth and adults to reaffirm baptismal vows.

iii.

Funerals & Burial of the Dead

The Burial Office proclaims Christian hope and gives family and friends a place to grieve, remember, and pray. Our liturgy for the dead is an Easter liturgy. It finds all its meaning in the resurrection, finding joy in the certainty that “neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 8:38-39). So, while we rejoice that one we love has entered into the nearer presence of our Lord, we sorrow in sympathy with those who mourn.

Stewardship

Support the Mission

Your generosity makes possible our worship, our care for the vulnerable, and our witness to the Gospel in Oak Ridge and the world. Give in whatever way is most workable for your household.
