Our worship reflects Oromo language and cultural warmth while staying centered on Jesus Christ through prayer, praise, and the preaching of God's Word.
Welcoming every language background
Spring of Life Oromo Church welcomes people from all language backgrounds. Translation support is available so everyone can worship, listen, and grow together in Christ.
What to expect
Warm greetings, participatory worship, Scripture-centered teaching, and space for prayer and fellowship in a welcoming immigrant church community.
What Our Logo Represents
Our logo reflects who we are as Spring of Life Oromo Church: Oromo-rooted, Christ-centered, and open to all.
The mark is inspired by the Odaa tree as a cultural image of gathering, shelter, wisdom, and community. Its form also points toward a sanctuary and the cross, reminding us that our deepest identity is found in Jesus Christ.
This logo is not a political symbol and it is not a statement of traditional religious doctrine. It is a simple visual reminder of our calling: to gather in worship, grow in faith, serve one another, and welcome all people into new life in Christ.
Leadership
Pastor Reta Terfa leads Spring of Life Oromo Church (SOLOC) alongside ministry leaders who serve the congregation together.
