Welcome to Grace and St. Paul Lutheran Churches, Osoyoos and Oliver BC   

Who We Are

Grace Lutheran and St. Paul Lutheran Churches are congregations of Lutheran Church-Canada (LCC). We are a church that holds to the Holy Scriptures as the inspired Word of God and to the writings contained in the Book of Concord of 1580 because they are in accord with the Scriptures.

 

“After Christ had reconciled all mankind to God by His vicarious satisfaction and had risen from the dead, He sat down at the right hand of God the Father to gather a Church on earth for Himself until the end of time by the Word of the completed reconciliation, the Gospel” (Francis Pieper, Christian Dogmatics, Vol. 3. P. 397).

 

 

Grace Lutheran Church, Osoyoos and St. Paul Lutheran Church, Oliver are located in the South Okanagan Valley of beautiful British Columbia.  This part of the province is considered a semi-desert.  We remember that our world is fallen, and people need to know about the love, mercy, and grace of God.  Like an oasis in the desert, our congregations seek to be places of refreshing. Psalm 107:35 states that God "...turns a desert into pools of water, a parched land into springs of water."  We seek to be that "pool" and "spring" in this place

    

Therefore, we invite all who may be in our communities, either as long term residents, new arrivals, or summer and winter visitors, to join us for regular "refreshing" as we gather around His Word and sacraments, which are God's means of grace.
