about us
We are a family of Christians
who love God and care for each other. We hope that you will make OCCC your church where your spiritual life and that of your family will be strengthened. In addition, you will experience a family atmosphere where we express our love in practical ways when it is needed most.
There are a team of pastors and elders, whom you will meet, who are ready and able to serve you and your family. Most of all we want to see you grow in the things of God and have an influence much further than your own home, by touching the lives of others when they see what God has done in your life.
Our church is so much more than a website and we hope that you would visit us. We would love to make you feel right at home.
WHAT WE BELIEVE
We believe the Bible is the inspired and only infallible, authoritative Word of God.
(2 Timothy 3:16-17)
We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
(1 John 5:6-8)
We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory.
(1 Corinthians 15:3-4, 1 Peter 2:18-24, John 3:16)
We believe that for salvation of the lost and the sinful man, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential.
(Romans 3:21-30, Galatians 4:4-7)
We believe in the baptism and the operation of the gifts of the Spirit for today.
(1 Corinthians 12)
We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection of life; and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.
(John 5:24, 28 & 29)
We believe that healing from sickness is provided for in the atonement, and is the privilege of all believers.
(Isaiah 53:4, Matthew 8:16-17, Mark 16:18, John 5:6-14)
We believe in the imminent return of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
(1 Thessalonians 4:13-18, Revelation 22:20, John 14:3)
OUR VALUES
FAMILY
We believe that God instituted marriage between a man and a woman designing it for life and that within the sanctity of marriage He calls and appoints families to fulfil their specific God-given destiny. God is a God of families having provided “a lamb for a house.” Thus, if God can reach down and save an individual He can save families too.
WORSHIP
When we worship God we express our heartfelt love and adoration of Him. This may be through shouts of joy, singing, clapping or at times weeping. By doing so we outwardly express our love and faith in God and believe that God accepts our worship when given in sincerity.
PRAYER
OCCC is committed to being a House of Prayer for all Nations. We firmly believe that absolutely nothing happens except through prayer and that prayer is the vehicle through which the plans and purposes of God are established.
WORD
We believe in the infallible, undeniable, irrevocable Word of the Living God. It is inspired by God, given by the Holy Spirit. All Scripture is God-breathed [inspired by God] and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness – 2 Timothy 3:16
SIGNS, WONDERS AND MIRACLES
We believe that God is a supernatural, miracle-working God and that what He did in the Old and New Testament, He is still able to do today.
LIFEGROUPS
As one of our core values, we encourage you to find a LifeGroup in your area. We believe that in a LifeGroup, you will be accepted for who you are,encouraged to achieve incredible things through Christ and be everything He has created you to be.
God's presence is our priority and His people are our passion.
Our Mission
To Know God and to Make Him Known.
