Good Friday Service

Good Friday Service

This Good Friday, we invite you to join us for a deeply reflective and moving experience — our Tenebrae service.

Tenebrae, meaning "Shadows," is a centuries-old tradition, a late-night service that invites us into the darkness of the cross.

Through Scripture readings, quiet reflection, and soft worship, we’ll journey together through the crucifixion story. It's a time to sit in the heaviness of Christ's sacrifice, to reflect, to lament, and to experience the weight of His love for us.

Outer West Kids will be available for children ages 4 & under during the service.

The Affordable Christmas Drive

OWCC is partnering with The GoodHood to help families make Christmas an affordable experience.

Affordable Christmas gives families on the Eastside of San Antonio the opportunity to provide Christmas gifts for their children in a way that preserves dignity and promotes empowerment. THE GOODHOOD collects brand new toys and cash donations (which we use to purchase more gifts) to create a store and the toys are priced at approximately 1/10 of the original retail value. Families from our neighborhood are invited to shop for their children at the store before Christmas. Parents are able to pick out the perfect gifts and become the hero to their kids on Christmas morning.

Update, December 11th: The GoodHood is no longer collecting toys but are still collecting financial donations. Learn more below.
