Our Purpose

OWC's mission is to serve the community by living out our core values: inclusive community, racial equity & social justice, prophetic service, and transformational worship.Much of what Old West centers around is pursuing justice - be it racial, economic, food, gender, etc. - for all persons in the community, for our neighbors and for the world.  One way we do this is through our two-pronged effort to bring about some level of food justice and creation care via our food forest and our weekly Monday Night Community Dinner.The dinner and the food forest are open to all, regardless of faith, economic status, capacity, ethnicity, immigration status, housing or social status gender, expression, and or identity. We want to always have a space where every person is welcome, able to learn, volunteer, participate and above all, partake in the harvest for themselves, as well as simply be fed.
