LCOS
is a welcoming community of believers. We have been a presence in Town
‘N Country (Northwest Tampa) since 1963! We are
people trying to figure out how to live faithfully before God and serve
others according to His will. That is not as easy as it may sound. So,
we don’t check our brains at the door of faith, but honor God’s Word in
the Bible by questioning and struggling with it to learn what It is
telling us in this time and place.
We
worship in traditional ways, @ 9:00 AM Sundays,
with dynamic, inspiring, and an entertaining music program.
Traditional or alternative, our Pastor’s messages
are Bible centered, hopeful, and relevant to your
life. Life can be joyous and it can be
difficult; worship is where God’s Word of love, acceptance and
unconditional grace intersect with our lives! At LCOS, we
reflect God’s Word in a climate of unconditional love and grace.
We serve God’s people, whether through teaching
faith centered value lessons to children in our pre-school and
kindergarten, or in our Sunday school; or at our Thursday
Nights
Together Adult
Bible Study, or by providing care, food and clothing through
our Kaye Prox Food Bank! Our food bank is a community wide ministry
supported by residents, churches, and businesses in Town ‘N Country!
We are God’s People serving God’s People! We join our voice
with others in the Hillsborough Organization
for Progress and Equality (H.O.P.E.),
an inter-faith voice of more than 26 faith communities; speaking for
the voiceless on the local justice issues.
LCOS is about touching human lives and building
relationships. Through His Word, and our hands and voices, LCOS
ministries reach more than 1600 people every week! Together
we are
Living a Bold Statement for Mission!
You are welcome at LCOS. Here is a place where you will belong!

Generous
Reflections
As members of our church who want the privilege of church membership,
we also need to accept the obligations. It is expensive to pay for
staffing, utilities, mortgage, and programs. Paul wrote to the church
in Corinth that they would be expected to support the workers of the
church. “If we have sown spiritual seed among you, is it too much if we
reap a material harvest from you? If others have this right of support
from you, shouldn’t we have it all the more?” (1 Corinthians 9:11-12)
In order for us to move forward, our church has a right to expect much
from us. It’s going to cost us our time. It’s going to cost us our
abilities. It’s going to cost us our money. As we in Christ serve and
give generously, we give praise and honor to the Lord.
