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.”
