Frequently asked questions
What is the Equipping Center?
The Equipping Center is your next step to grow deeper in God’s Word and live out your faith every day. Our heart is to create a biblically literate community where no one walks alone in their journey. You can choose the path that fits your season—take the 2-year Credit Track to earn credit toward an OCC certificate, or the Non-Credit Track if you’re looking for a lighter commitment with the same opportunity to grow.
Who is it for?
Anyone ready to strengthen their faith and live it out daily.
What are the tracks?
Credit Track: A two-year journey (14 classes required for completion) that earns credit toward an OCC internal certificate.
Non-Credit Track: A lighter commitment with the same opportunity to grow.
How long are classes?
Each class runs about 2 weeks and is designed to be flexible. You’ll engage with video teaching, participate in discussion forums, answer discussion board questions, and complete assessments—along with required readings and assignments.
Why should I join?
Because your faith matters! This is your next step to know God’s Word, live it out, and grow in community.
Is there a cost?
No—classes are free! Some may recommend optional books or resources, but the Equipping Center itself has no financial cost.
All it takes is your commitment to show up, engage, and grow in God’s Word.
