Welcome
At Our Saviour's, we believe that all people are created in the image of God (2 Corinthians 5:17) , that all people are of sacred worth, and that Christ died for all people. We welcome everyone regardless of age, race, color, mental and physical abilities, nationality, gender identity, sexual orientation, marital status, political party, educational background, ability, economic background, ethnicity, and religious tradition, as full participants in the life and work of the church.
Who Are We?
We are a kindhearted and inclusive body of believers committed to growing each day by worshipping God; loving one another; and serving others. We strive to welcome and serve all people. We strive not for perfection but for authenticity and connection.
We are committed to social justice, the welfare and dignity of all persons, as well as a place of renewal and hope.

A Brief History of Our Saviour's
Our Saviour’s United Methodist Church (OSUMC) began as a small group, a “house church,” with about a dozen young adults, in a new community, Hoffman Estates. We then became a chartered Methodist church in March,1958, with 85 members. With the support of the Methodist Conference and a group called Church Builders, our first church was built on Golf Rd. Thirty-five years later, we had outgrown that site and moved to our present location, at Schaumburg and Plum Grove Roads.
We know you will find an active, loving, caring community at OSUMC. YOU are welcome here!
