Our Young Adult Ministry will have its October fellowship night at Pure Bean (1133 Artesia Blvd, Unit F) in Manhattan Beach. The night will include dinner, fellowship, and Q&A with our pastor-elders.

"Drawing Near to God" scripture-based art workshops provide a meaningful and memorable way to engage with God in His word and art making. Participants read and discuss a passage of scripture, then create a visual and tangible reminder of their encounter with God in His word using art materials and easy techniques.

Cost: $50 (to cover materials)

No art experience is necessary.

If you're interested in hosting a trunk for our Trunk-or-Treat, please sign up by October 20th! This is a fun opportunity to decorate your car in a theme of your choice, get creative, and pass out treats to the kids!

You're invited to join our Mission Ministry for a yummy and informative evening with Mark and Lisa DeNeui. The DeNeuis are longtime missionaries in France, and they will be serving up dessert and sharing the exciting things God is doing in France and beyond. This event is free to attend, but we kindly ask that you RSVP.

What is life all about? Does success in life–wealth, accomplishments, power or influence–really deliver the satisfaction everyone claims? In this class we will hear from an expert who has “been there, done that,” and you may be surprised to hear his conclusions in the OT wisdom from Ecclesiastes.

This book may have been a challenging one because parts of it seem to be pessimistic about life. You will come away from this class loving the honesty and realistic look at modern life through Ecclesiastes, and it may become your favorite book!

Our 5-week study will be an exposition of key passages in Ecclesiastes, including application, questions & interaction.

Hey families! Dress up the kids and bring them to OCF KIDS Trunk-or-Treat! We’ll have two parking lots with fun decorated cars, and TONS of candy to share! Invite your friends and come enjoy a fun afternoon with us.

Men's Fraternity gives men a space to engage in meaningful relationships and build the kingdom of God. We meet on Thursday mornings at 6am at OCF, and Tuesday evenings at 7pm at the Dunaetz home in El Segundo. Our fall round starts on September 19th & 24th. Questions about Men's Fraternity? Please contact Pastor Brandon.

What is the relationship between the imagination and discipleship? How can fantasy stories contribute to our Christian formation? In this class we will be examining C. S. Lewis’s theology of the imagination and how it informed his writing of The Chronicles of Narnia. In particular, we will focus on The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, which we will discuss together over the course of the class. This 5-week class is open to anyone high school and older, whether this will be your first trip to Narnia or your fiftieth.

The OCF Men's Retreat is heading back to Forest Home Christian Camp this November! We hope you'll join us and take advantage of this opportunity to get away from the noise of daily life. It’s a fun, refreshing weekend, that gives men the space to enjoy the outdoors, build strong relationships, and connect with God.

‍Cost: $275 ($200 for high school students)
