OPC Campus
Sanctuary
Our main building was built and opened in 2004. It is a two-story, multi-purpose facility, with Sanctuary, offices, kitchen, classrooms, music suite, and gathering spaces. Our sanctuary can seat 300 guests, plus worship leaders, choir, and musicians on the raised chancel (stage area).
Playground
Behind the Sanctuary and down the hill is our Children’s Playground. We expanded this playground in 2015 in honor of our Rev. Sue Jacobson, our longtime Director of Education, upon her retirement from that post. The playground is open to any and all families, visitors, and guests from sunrise to sunset.
Pavilion
Our open air is a wonderful place for an outdoor meal. We have a small kitchen and tables to seat about 160. The two restrooms serve as well as the lower ball field.
Ball Field
This Softball/Baseball field has dugouts, stands, fences, and lights. Often local baseball teams use this field for games or practices.
Side Field
The congregation also owns the field space to the west of the sanctuary. This graded grassy area is home to the OPC garden.
