WELCOME

WE ARE A PEOPLE AND A PLACE OF HOPE AND HEALING

We invite you to join our vibrant, family-friendly congregation as we passionately participate in prayer, worship and holistic ministry in the diverse Northeast Philadelphia community…so that our God can be exalted! Empowered by the Holy Spirit, our mission is to share in word and action Christ’s message of love that reconciles us to God and neighbor.

RECONCILING

Our foundation is built on the reconciling power of the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. We seek to be a healing balm among our members and in our community. We place our lives, families, vocations and perspectives in God’s hands to be transformed.

MULTIETHNIC

Our identity in Christ compels us to extend His saving power to all nations, cultures and peoples. We believe the Biblical idea that all are one in Christ when we submit to Him. We seek to demonstrate this through celebrating each others’ culture in accordance with the Scriptures.

COMMUNITY

We seek to go beyond family, ethnic, cultural and language ties to live as a diverse family that is a work in progress. We attempt to reflect this through our corporate worship, fellowship, leadership, ministries and sharing our homes with one another.

We are people of God’s peace.

Mennonite Action is a movement of Mennonites bonded by a common belief that we must be public about our peace values. We believe that Mennonites have a responsibility to use our voices as powerfully as possible for the cause of peace and justice. We are taking public action as Mennonites. We are mobilizing Mennonites across the US and Canada to demand a ceasefire, end the US and western funded occupation of Palestine, and build for lasting peace. click here to sign the petition to demand a ceasefire.

MINISTRY AREAS

Our Leadership Team administers various ministries throughout the church.

Prayer is vital to the heath and mission of our congregation. We include prayer in our Sunday morning gatherings, weekly Growth Groups as well as encourage each and every household to be houses of prayer. We dedicate Wednesdays to Prayer at OCMC, with a morning and noontime prayer gathering at the church.
Contact Tim Leaman at ocmcphilly@gmail.com

The Worship Team leads the congregation in worship every Sunday. They meet several times per month for practices on Sunday mornings before the service. A retreat for fellowship, growth, skill development and vision casting happens toward the end of February each year. Training is available!
Contact: Anne Hess at ocmcphilly@gmail.com

We desire to see our children grow in their understanding of who God is and His love for them, as well as in their relationships with others in the church.

Our youth and young adults are the future of our church. We believe God wants us to be investing in Christian discipleship and mentoring that invites them to know Christ and to follow him.

On Wednesdays, we have a 6:30am prayer time for men and a weekly noon prayer time for abnyone. In addition, we have a weekly women’s Bible study, a women’s discipleship group and a fasting period very year for the month of January.
