The OCC Youth Ministry, for ages 12 through 17, meets Monday evenings from 6:00-7:00 p.m. for discussion groups on pertinent youth topics ranging from college information, SAT assistance, drugs and sex, and how God’s Word can empower them to resist temptation, to walk in love, be obedient and victorious. There is generally a monthly outing on the calendar, and youth attendees quickly learn how to edify and encourage one another, how to pray together and study the Word while enjoying weekly koinonia fellowship and learning how to be effective, spirit-led leaders. This ministry focuses on empowering youth to be those godly leaders who reach out to other youth with compassion, the love of Jesus and revelation of the Word of God. Mentoring and tutoring are made available as needed.
