Open Arms Fellowship and Early Childhood Development Center

Open Arms Lutheran Fellowship is forming an LCMS congregation in Ozark, MO.

The vision is to gather a congregation of families and individuals in the Ozark area around God's Word and Sacraments for the purpose of salvation, worship, spiritual growth, fellowship, outreach, and service to the community in the name of Christ. This will primarily be accomplished through the operation of a Child Development Center that will also serve as home for the congregation.

Pastor Dave Benson has been called, through Faith Lutheran Church in Springfield, in cooperation with the LCMS - Missouri District, to continue the development of this new church plant that was initiated through Redeemer Lutheran church in Springfield.
