Throughout the year we host a mix of classes for the adults of our congregation.
These are valuable opportunities to broaden your knowledge on the Christian faith and build community.

A chronological and expositional study of Jesus Christ’s life on earth, emphasizing the historical, cultural and theological interpretation of key events and teachings in Christ’s life, as well as the similarities/differences of the four gospel accounts.
Spiritual Warfare
This course presents a biblical picture of the spiritual world and its effects for humanity. Students will learn to diagnose the extent to which our fallen world, our sinful flesh, and spiritual forces have influenced us as well as a practical plan towards freedom and health.
Membership Class
Are you new to OCF and interested in learning more about our church? Or maybe you consider OCF your home church and would like to become an official member. If so, we invite you to be part of our next Membership Class! This class will inform you about our history, philosophy of ministry, doctrinal statement and the responsibilities of church membership. Our next 4-session class will begin Sunday, April 16th at 9:00am.
Pursuing God
This course is designed to present the five ways in which God invites us to pursue Him: understanding the Gospel, prayer, God’s Word, Christian community, and obedience. As followers of Jesus, and for our development as the unique and significant members of God’s family we are, we need all five.
Theological Foundations
This course offers the opportunity to learn what the entire Bible has to say about the major doctrines of the Christian faith and lays the foundation for our beliefs as a community of faith.
Bible Study Methods
Perhaps the most valuable tool followers of Jesus need is His Word. In our Bible Study Methods course, we will learn a basic and effective three-step model: observation, interpretation, and application and will be able to put the method to practice with weekly assignments.
Spiritual Formation
Spiritual Formation is transformation of the heart of the believer in Jesus accomplished by the Holy Spirit. This course helps followers of Christ to understand the process of spiritual growth and the unique role of the Holy Spirit in the process.
Biblical Worldview
Our worldview is the lens through which we see all of life. With all the competing world views in our culture, followers of Jesus need to understand what exactly the Christian worldview is and grow in confidence that it is the most robust, true, and livable worldview there is.
Care and Counseling
There are so many hurting people around us. Having the basic understanding of how to evaluate the “need” in others and to effectively engage them through prayer, care, and counsel helps the believer to be extensions of the arms, eyes, and heart of God in their circles of influence. In this course we will learn these basic skills as well as acquire resources that will allow us to direct those in our care to more specialized care when needed.
