UALC is an evangelical, Spirit-led, Lutheran church in the Northwest suburbs of Columbus, Ohio. We worship in two locations with a combined weekly attendance of 1200. We are part of Lutheran Congregations in Mission for Christ (LCMC) and the North American Lutheran Church (NALC). We believe that we are called to be an Oasis of God's Kingdom for a dry and thirsty world, and we know that living water is meant to be shared. We envision a future so well-watered by the love and truth and Spirit of Christ that our way of life together will be transformed and even people outside our church will say, "See how they love one another," just like Jesus said they would. Life with Jesus brings hope and healing to broken people. Outside of Christ we are drawn to mirages that make empty promises of life but leave us stuffing our mouths with sand. This vision leads us to four deeply held commitments about life together at God's Oasis: Everything that we do starts with the action of God. We are a Gospel people, trusting in the work of Jesus. What we offer comes from what Jesus has done and is doing. There's a distinct community at the oasis, a family sharing life together in the way of Jesus by the power of the Spirit. An oasis is not a fortress. It doesn't have walls. We invite people in and carry Living Water out. There is an enemy; there is a desert; there are "mirages." We are in a battle, but we know that God wins. Who Are We Looking For? We are searching for a number of roles to continue helping us realize this vision.

Kids Ministry at UALC provides a safe space for kids to engage with the message of the Gospel and find that it answers all their questions about who they are and how the world is meant to be. Elementary UPCOMING EVENTS Elementary The curiosity of kids abounds. They ask deep questions about the world and how it works; wanting to know their place, their purpose, and if their perception of this vast space is aligned with what is true. Our Kids Ministry team wants to partner with you to stoke the flames of these investigative sparks you see in your child. Kids Ministry at UALC provides a safe space for kids to engage with the message of the Gospel and find that it answers all their questions about who they are and how the world is meant to be. Contact: Melissa Davis , Kids Ministry Director (Lytham Road), or Star Bradley Kids Ministry Director (Mill Run), for questions about anything related to Kids Ministry. CONTACT Kids' Church For PreK–5th graders All of our Modern Worship Services offer Kids’ Church throughout the school year. Kids’ Church content follows along with the Narrative Lectionary, as do our sermons, allowing for shared family conversations after the service each week. Mill Run has Kids' Church at both the 9:00 & 11:00 am services. Lytham Road has Kids' Church at 11:00 am. (Both campuses have PreK Kids' Church throughout the year.) On Small Group Sundays, kids are invited to join the service for gathered worship with their parent or guardian. Prior to the sermon, kids are dismissed to grade specific small groups to build deeper friendships and discipleship conversations. On the third Sunday of each month, kids are invited to our Rally Sunday — an exciting and kid-friendly parallel service that runs the entire worship hour. KIDS' CHURCH INFORMATION Sunday Nights at UALC Adults and Kids | 5:00-7:00 pm Lytham Road Campus Discipleship offerings for every age, including dinner!
