Otterbein United Methodist Church is committed to outreach both in our local community and beyond. Our local church Mission Statement is: We put God first, others second and ourselves last. We are sharing Christ's love in a changing world. We support local and national missions. On August 3 we picked 482 dozen ears of corn for the local food banks from the church field.
