OCF Helps

OCF Helps is how our radical hospitality extends beyond Sunday mornings to care for those in our own church family. As a volunteer, you’ll have the privilege of meeting real needs and living out OCF’s mission as an extension of the Gospel. We want every person we serve to feel valued and supported, so we approach each task with humility, kindness, patience, and flexibility — treating it as a personal ministry that glorifies God and deepens our connection with one another.
