Adult Ministries
A call to Christian discipleship is a call to
life-long learning. OECC helps adults stay fresh in their faith,
challenging them to grow in knowledge and service. We equip and
encourage individuals to live out their ministry passions according
to their distinct spiritual gifts and God’s calling in their
lives.
Adult Christian Formation Classes—An educational hour featuring
multiple classes follows Sunday worship. Balancing Biblical, topical
and inspirational studies, we encourage classes to be interactive,
contemporary (i.e. relevant!) and applied.
Discover
OECC:
Recently attending adults are invited to an hour with our Pastoral
Staff. Conveniently scheduled on a Sunday morning, light refreshments
are offered, as staff and ministries are introduced. A “Q
& A” format is highlighted by the sharing of personal
life stories.
Men’s
Prayer Group:
Once a month men of a variety of ages and walks of life come together
for prayer, support, friendship and spiritual growth.
Women’s
Retreat:
Annually in the fall, women of the church travel to a regional retreat
center for a weekend of learning, worship, reflection and relaxation.
Occasional Workshops/Seminars:
OECC offers a weekend setting covering topics of interest to our adult
community. Examples include spiritual gifts, marriage and family,
or financial planning.
Membership
Class:
Opportunity is given to meet on a weekend with Pastoral Staff to
learn in greater depth about our church, its ministry and our denomination,
the Evangelical Covenant Church. One is not obligated to membership
by taking this class.
Fellowship:
From a fall hayride to a winter pancake breakfast; a front lawn summer
BBQ under the “big white tent,” to informal gatherings
in homes and restaurants, ours is a relational church. We love to
laugh and come together for good times.
