ABOUT
Oak Lawn United Methodist Church is…
- Your neighborhood church and community center!
- A bilingual community that is radically inclusive where all are welcome. Really, we mean it. No exceptions!
- A congregation of the United Methodist Church (UMC).
- An intentional community that affirms and celebrates LGBTQIA+ people and their families. We are a Reconciling United Methodist congregation.
- A spiritual community where questions are welcomed, diversity is valued, creativity is nurtured, peace is cultivated, and life is renewed!
- A people that values respect for one another regardless of differences. We seek to create a community centered in generosity, authenticity, reconciliation, playfulness, and creativity. We believe that everyone brings to the table something unique that no one else can offer.
- A place that follows the transforming life and teachings of Jesus while accepting the wisdom from all religious traditions.
Are you looking for bold worship and a community that embraces you, offers radical hospitality, and strives for justice?
“This remarkable congregation embodies Christ’s borderless hospitality through their unwavering commitment to welcoming all and creating a safe place for people to find physical, emotional, and spiritual belonging. Their impartial and unconditional inclusivity beautifully demonstrates philoxenia, the “love of strangers,” a core ethical and spiritual value and essential practice that defines participation in God’s kingdom.”
