Our church motto is "...equipping the saints for the
work of the ministry..." .
All those who practice ministry in the name of Christ have undertaken a
Mission. At COS this does not simply mean employing a few
selected professionals to do God's work. No, it means "The
Saints" actually doing Ministry, according to the gifting and calling of
the Spirit of God. "The Saints" is a term
that embraces the whole Christian Church. Some of those we support
are globally positioned professionals. While others are
ministering members of the local community who attend here at COS.
Still, all of these people are
missionaries, and all are part of
our family. Below, you can Explore their ministries and the fruit
God brings.
