OCC Values
A Commitment to Biblical Authority
We believe the Bible is GOD’S inspired Word, the divine and only rule for Christian faith and
practice. The words of scripture take precedence over church traditions or human opinions. We
are committed to equipping believers in a way that ministers grace and urges obedience in every
sphere of life through the clear, accurate and expository preaching and teaching of GOD’S Word.
(2 Timothy 3:16-17; James 1:2-25; Acts 2:42-47)
A Commitment to Prayerful Dependence
We believe it in the necessity and effectiveness of private and corporate prayer, understood as
conversing with the Father. Prayer is the lifeline with our all-powerful GOD. It is a key
discipline in our relationship with GOD, empowering the believer to fulfill his or her calling of
GOD. We depend on prayer in the conception, planning and execution of all our ministries and
activities. (Philippians 4:4-7; 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18; James 5:13-18; Acts 2:42-47)
A Commitment to Passionate, Authentic Worship
We desire to acknowledge GOD’S supreme value and worth in our personal lives and in the
corporate worship of our church. We believe worship to GOD is not restricted to a single form,
but rather, is expressed in accordance with our personal gratitude of and praise to GOD. We
must maintain sensitivity to how GOD directs an individual to respond in worship to GOD in
corporate setting, recognizing that worship is our response to GOD’S work in our life. This
includes the expression of our gifts and talents for the Kingdom of GOD and surrender to HIS
will. (John 4:24; Romans 12:1-2, Acts 2:42-47)
A Commitment to Experiential Grace
We believe no one cand earn GOD’S grace, it is a free gift given out of HIS love. In the same
fashion that GOD is willing to accept anyone who comes to HIM, we strive to maintain a “come
as you are” attitude. Recognizing that each one of us has flaws and GOD’S grace is at work in
us, the church labors to be a non-judgmental extension of GOD’S love and grace. (Ephesians
2:8019; Romans 2:11; James 2:1-13)
