Our Journey
Who We Are
Twenty-five years ago, Community of Love Lutheran Church was established as a mission plant by the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America (ELCA). In September of 2023, Sarajean Grainson was called to be our Vicar. Commissioned as a Mission Developer in March of 2023, Vicar Grainson and the congregation are in the process of mission replanting at COL. We are a small Congregation with active members who are striving to provide impactful service to our community.
The Community We Serve
The greater Oxford area has a diverse population with young couples and families, a sizable senior citizen population, and migrant workers with their extended families, some of which require assistance. Many had relied on the local thrift shop, which had closed.
Meeting the Needs of Our Community
Following a significant fire in downtown Oxford last September, COL joined the Oxford community effort to assist those who lost everything and was determined to continue to do what we could to provide for our community. However, in subsequent weeks it became apparent that there was a great need for warm coats and clothing, not only for our Oxford neighbors, but also for other local municipalities. Vicar Grainson contacted churches in Oxford and the surrounding communities to help us collect enough coats for our Share the Warmth coat distribution. We asked and they provided. In November, we distributed approximately 375 new and gently used coats along with new hats and gloves. By the end of 2023, we had given out well over 500 coats. For years, Community of Love has held a biannual clothing ministry event to provide garments to people with clothing insecurity. It became evident that this was insufficient and that we needed to do more.
