When God gave Jesus the mission of reaching the world with the Good News of His love and grace, Jesus employed a world-changing strategy: He poured His love into a small group (His disciples). And the very first church life, expressed in Acts 2 in the Bible, was expressed as people meeting house to house, sharing their lives, their possessions, their food, and their new Christian faith. Life change happens in small groups. life Groups will offer you the opportunity to:

CONNECT with others in the Overlake community in an intimate, family-like way.

GROW deeper in your relationship with God, applying the truths of his Word and conforming to the image of His Son, Jesus.

SERVE the Body of Christ as a small group, allowing God to take full advantage of the gifts He has given to each member for the spread of the gospel and the building up of the body of Christ.

REACH outside the OCC body, inviting others into the more personal and hospitable setting of a small group, leading them to an intimate relationship with Christ.

CELEBRATE all that God has done for us through expressions of prayer, praise, singing, and worship.

They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread, and to prayer. All the believers Were together and had everything in common. Every day they continued to meet together…They broke bread in their homes and ate Together…and the Lord added to their numbers daily those who were being saved.

Acts 2:42, 44, 47-47
