Behind the altar, the Tree of Life represents the literal tree of life in Genesis, and from Revelation, everlasting life granted to those who display fruits of the spirit and righteousness aligned with God’s principles. 

Carved of African Cordia wood, these panels — depicting scenes in the life of Jesus — were executed while Lamidi was artist-in-residence at Hope College.  Figures appear in traditional Yoruba dress.

This painting was acquired by OSLC members while on mission work in Guatemala.
