Welcome to Olathe Community Of Christ
Olathe Community Of Christ has served the Olathe area for over 50 years, with our current location on South Ridgeview Road established over three decades ago. As part of the global Community of Christ denomination, we center our mission on proclaiming Jesus Christ's peace and fostering communities of joy, hope, love, and peace. Our congregation actively engages in five core mission initiatives: evangelism, poverty abolition, peace pursuit, disciple development, and congregational empowerment. We offer dynamic Sunday worship services featuring music, scripture, and testimonies, alongside Christian education programs for all ages.Our ministries extend beyond worship through the Center of Hope outreach, which includes a food pantry, thrift store, and homeless outreach. We provide 24/7 pastoral care, including hospital visits and communion for homebound members. The sacrament of laying on of hands for healing remains available to all through our ordained elders. Our enduring principles emphasize human worth, diversity, grace, creation stewardship, and responsible choices. We welcome both in-person attendance and online participation through our livestreamed services.
