Serving others is a natural result of our faith. We call this concept "Christian Service." Your involvement in Christian Service as a college student will help bridge your classroom learning with real-world experiences. Your participation will not only help others, it will also help you discover your interests and gifts.

When it comes to training for life and ministry, a commitment to Christian Service is just as important as academics and character development. To maximize your college experience, the Academic Catalog requires all students (with 8 or more credit hours) to be actively involved in Christian Service. As a benefit to you, the Christian Service Department is available to help connect you with a wide variety of opportunities. Simply report your involvement to the Christian Service Office once at the end of each semester. At OCC, our students not only study about servanthood, they live it!

Give us a call about your Christian Service questions / needs or stop by our offices in the CSI building just across the street from Strong Hall.
