OCC 2012 Transformation Initiatives

Investing in Children’s Ministry

“I WANT to come BACK” is what we want to hear from children…totally fired up by their experience of connecting with God at OCC! Now is the time to infuse imagination and interactivity into these Next Generation environments – to help bring Bible-truths ALIVE, maximize our

BRINGVITATIONAL potential and lead even more young hearts to Jesus.

Investing in Student Ministry

Our Student Ministry is blowing out the doors with an excellent Christ-centered focus on fulfilling OCC’s purposes to Love God, Love People and Serve the World. Additional space and resources are needed so this incredible ministry can flourish well into the future.

Investing in Adult Spiritual Formation

Some 10,000 square feet of GREAT SPACE for adult education, counseling, leadership development and other groups remains unfinished at OCC’s east end – space we’re in need of now! This 3rd floor area will also become the ideal home for our Love People Team, prayer plaza and potential on-site worship venue.

Maximizing OCC.ORG

We know 80%+ of our guests explore OCC.ORG before visiting our church in person. This is why we must make OCC’s “virtual front door” exquisitely relational, compelling and interactive for the thousands of users visiting OCC.ORG each month.

Utilizing Technology

Outdated equipment and software must be upgraded to better serve growing OCC ministries and effectively connect new people to the life and purposes of the church. The ideal system will integrate the church ministry and facility databases, including LifeGroup member information.

A Welcoming Church

Maximizing the relational appeal and friendliness of our facility requires the reengineering of our Welcome/Information Center into an inviting and comfortable venue with additional Web-connected informational kiosks and other connection points (free coffee stations) throughout OCC’s Mallway and lobby.

Safe Transportation

As many as 400 people a Sunday will hop on an Overlake shuttle to get to our front doors. As God continues to bring growth, this ministry becomes more and more vital. We seek to upgrade the safety and comfort of OCC’s shuttle experience by trading in our fleet to acquire identical and comfortably functional vehicles, each joyfully communicating the purposes of OCC.

I pray that your love will overflow more and more, and that you will keep on growing in knowledge and understanding.
