welcome
As followers of Jesus, we are to point people to joy, confidence, hope and life… more than that we point them to Jesus.
As followers of Jesus, we are salt and light in this world – primarily online and via phone right now.
As followers of Jesus, we grow in Christ, individually and together, in koinōnia – that shared life in the Spirit that includes:
- reading and thinking through Scripture,
- prayer – both praying for and praying with,
- serving the community – both the OCC community and the bigger community around us,
- and caring for each other in love.
If you don’t really know Jesus, we trust and pray that as you connect, read, watch, you will be drawn into a relationship with Jesus.
If you are not yet a follower of Jesus, we pray that you will honestly seek and ask questions… watch for and sign up for online ALPHA this spring.
We encourage you to take a few minutes as you prepare to watch the video
- sit still,
- breathe in, breath out a couple of times
- invite the Lord to make himself present with you as you watch – he is with you – it’s just that a lot of the time we are not aware that he is.
- prepare your heart to listen and receive
- Read Philippians 2 as you enter into our time together.

acts of kindness
February 7-14, 2021 Turn your compassionate spirit into action by doing some random (in the sense of unexpected) acts of kindness throughout the week, bringing some light and love to those around us.
There are many ways to let people know you care: Click here or on the image for some ideas.
CNOY: Coldest Night Of the Year
In this time of lockdown, there is still needs in our city. CNOY in Orillia raises funds for the Lighthouse. While there is no walk this year, there is a virtual walk (i.e. walk on your own schedule).
The date for this year’s walk is 20 February 2021.
Here’s our team page: OCC
You can go there to join the team if you want to raise support as you walk, or you can also donate directly. Let’s bless those who are in need in our city.
giving
In this new way of being the church, we don’t practice giving by placing our offering in a basket as it is passed. OCCers are generous people. Thank you for your gifts.
- Some of you give when you attend a service (there is an offering box)
- Many give online – etransfer or paypal
- Others mail or drop off cheques
You can find all the ways you can give here.
