What is a Life Group?
Life Groups are where a large church becomes small—and life transformation begins. Members are encouraged to:
- Engage in meaningful conversations rooted in God’s Word
- Build healthy relationships that go beyond Sunday
- Serve together both inside and outside OCC
This is where spiritual growth meets real life, because life is better together.
How Do I Lead a Life Group?
Life Group leaders are the heart of OCC’s community. Leaders are trained and supported to:
- Facilitate discussion and prayer with intentionality
- Foster authentic relationships that lead to spiritual transformation
- Develop new leaders through apprenticeship and discipleship
