Dear guest,

     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!

     Thanks for visiting our website.  Now, come visit and worship with us person.

The people of The LCOS

It is said that what a person does with his money tells a great deal about that person. If a person hoards his money, we call him tight or cheap. If someone wastes money, we can call him a fool or a spendthrift. A Christian manages his money wisely and gives it generously. The story of Zacchaeus illustrates how the use of money can readily tell us about a person. Before Jesus changed his heart, Zacchaeus loved and hoarded his money. As a believer, Zacchaeus surrendered his life to Jesus, enabling him to give away half of his money to the poor. How are you using your money?

(Luke 19:1-10)

Most people believe that money brings happiness, so they always want more of it. But money does not bring happiness. Money and the things that money can buy do not produce the good life. The good life is found in a relationship with Jesus and in using what God has given us to build his kingdom. Through the working of the Holy Spirit, we will hold the things of this world loosely and focus on things that are eternal.
