If you ever need to feel welcomed by 200 smiling faces, or you need to feel like the world is not…read moresuch a bad place, or you need to hear the beautiful message of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ saving us from ourselves, then this is the place for you! Let's face it, the world isn't pretty. The world is hard to deal with sometimes, especially when we get the news that the test results weren't what we wanted, or that we have to take out another mortgage, or that we can't afford to keep juggling our lives every day. This is the place where we put all the things that we juggle... Down. We stop trying to balance our lives and let the chips fall where they may. We preach a real Gospel, we believe in a real grace, and we Believe in a real sin, because we have a real Jesus that really takes care of all of our real needs. This Jesus doesn't make us comfortable, but he challenges us to comfort one another. To feed the hungry, give the thirsty drink, visit the imprisoned, care for the sick, and look for the lost. We are his disciples, and we welcome you to join us, let's spread the love that we learn about in church, to the community of Woodburn and beyond!

It's wonderful that Our Savior's offers a style that is familiar to those of us who are "seasoned," while also providing a worship offering that appeals to those who enjoy "praise" services. The warmth and welcome that we have received is beyond words. Thank you.

My husband and I were invited by some friends to attend the Sunday "Picnic In The Park". Upon…read morearriving we were greeted by a bunch of very friendly people and felt very welcome. One of these people was a guy named Matt, whom we all later on learned was one of the pastors. We were led to where the food line was. The people serving were very friendly and definitely not stingy with portions. All of the meats were served piping hot, and the salads cool and tasty. There seemed to be a lot of interesting activities going on for the kids. I saw tractor rides, bouncy houses, coloring, photo booths, and even homemade ice cream! A very yummy and appreciated treat on a hot day. While sitting under the shade tree relaxing, a woman named Lori came up to us and started chatting with us. Turns out Lori is Matts wife, the guy that originally greeted us when we first arrived. A little while later Matt joined Lori as well as their middle daughter. I found all of them very genuine and personable and down to earth "humans", not "stuffy" and "snobby" like other clergy I have ran into over the years. They wound up chatting with us for about an hour, very willing to help answer some questions and share stories. Even their daughter seemed to be very well grounded, appreciative and level headed, a rare thing to find in today's teens and young adults. A little while later a Justin guy joined us to say hi. Justin was also very friendly and personable. All of these nice folks invited my husband and I back for next Sundays picnic. Never once did I feel pressured to attend a service; nothing like some places where it was "If you DON'T attend a service, you're going straight to Hell" stuff. Later on Lori came back up to me with a friend and they invited me to a womans Bible study. This was based on questions I had earlier asked Lori, not because they were trying to "recruit" me into some church going study thing. I told them I wound think about it and get back to them soon. I could not tell you what one of their services is like because I have not attended but I can say that if they indeed do practice what they preach then this may be a church I wind up regularly attending. After I attend a service I will update my ratings. I did not think it would be fair to give 5 stars without first seeing what they offered inside of the church.

I noticed a lot of young families and they had space for a student ministries now as well. I will say this church isn't for everyone though. The messages are deep and can be challenging at times and that seems to be the point of their "Outward Communities" that they encourage everyone to be apart of. Its not your typical church music experience either. The music seems to be geared towards a "younger" sound, but the gospel message is clearly portrayed through worship. Overall, it's a church worth trying out!

That means that if you believe in Jesus and the miracles and have the faith of a grain of mustard seed you will absolutely not have a mask and neither will the pastor, his wife or children and the church will be filled with faithful unmasked citizens.
