Our aim is to minister to all who enter our building and to teach them to minister to one another. Scroll below to see the different ministries we offer for you to both serve in and to be served.
Grow Classes
Grow Classes meet on Sunday mornings from 9:00am - 9:45am before our Worship Service. These are great opportunities for our adults to grow spiritually as we come together to learn more about God’s Word and how to apply it to our lives in a classroom setting.
At this 9:00am hour, we have one Grow Class, Pulse Student Ministry meets, and there is Childcare available.
Grow Groups
Grow Groups are small group Bible studies that meet regularly throughout the month. Through study, discussion, serving, praying for one another and sharing each other's burdens in times of need, Grow Groups try to live life together.
Grow Groups connect new people, build intentional community, and help strengthen people in their faith. We encourage everyone to join a Grow Group and grow in their relationship with God and His church. These groups meet at various times in various locations in and around Ogden Valley.
Currently we have three Grow Groups that are meeting. One of the Grow Groups meets on Monday every week, another one meets on Wednesday every week and another one meets on Friday twice a month. For help connecting with a group, please feel free to contact the church or visit the Connections Center at OVCC.
Children's Ministry
- Nursery: Infant to 4 years old. Toilet-trained (or leave a cell phone number to text for diaper changes.)
- Kindergarten - 2nd Grade
- 3rd - 5th Grade
Our Children's Classes are using The Gospel Project Curriculum. The goal is for the children to understand both the Bible's overall story and its contents in detail while also learning how to apply it to their lives.
Student Ministry
Our desire is to create a space in which our 6th - 12th grade students can get involved and connected with each other outside of attending our Worship Service. Pulse Student Ministry consists of events, quarterly service projects, and youth group.
Pulse meets on Sundays at 9:00am in the Youth Room. This will be a time of Bible teaching with discussion throughout the lesson.
The best way to know what is going on with Pulse Student Ministry is to join our GroupMe. Please email us and we will happily plug you into all our events and activities.
Missions Ministry
“Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” Matthew 28:19-20
Christian missions originated in the heart of God. He is a missionary God seeking true worshippers who will worship Him in spirit and truth (John 4:23). In His love and mercy He offers eternal life to all those who come to Him believing (John 3:16), through His son Jesus Christ. Missions ministry is a vital part of our church because we believe this good news of the gospel is important to be shared with a world that is hurting and in sin, facing condemnation (John 3:18) from God.
OVCC Missions Ministry exists to engage our church in the Great Commission of Jesus Christ to make disciples of all people groups, both locally and globally. We desire to see the church serve and love our community as a response to the gospel at work in our own lives. OVCC is also committed to supporting ministries whose motivation and focus is on the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Our church supports our missions partners through prayer, relationship, giving, and by going to the mission field when possible. We work with a variety of gospel-centered organizations as well as with our OVCC missionaries, who are having an impact for Christ both here in Ogden Valley, in Utah, and in other parts of the world.
When we know God and we’re growing in Him, the result will be that we show others how our relationship with Jesus Christ has changed our lives. While this starts with our family, neighbors, our co-workers and our friends, it also extends to the world around us. Being a gospel-presence in the Ogden Valley is of great importance to the members of OVCC. We are a body of people who know Jesus and our purpose is to glorify God by making disciples, impacting others in our community with the good news that God loves them and died for their sins. We desire to serve and love our community as a response to the gospel at work in our own lives.
In considering where to give, both global and local mission support, OVCC is committed to supporting ministries whose motivation and focus is the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We support missions that align with OVCC’s statement of faith, giving priority to sharing the gospel, with accountability to a governing body that is Gospel-centered.
