About
We have both a sound belief and firm foundation of what we as a body of believers at OCF know to be
true. We are currently in the process of putting pen to paper that would make clear what
foundation we stand upon. Such a document shall be known as our
Article Of Faith.
It says in 1 Corinthians 3:
Every man's work shall be tested and revealed by fire.The development of
the
Article Of Faith is not to be rushed, but each point drafted with much prayer and
consideration by the eldership and those of a spiritual understanding. In the meantime, may the
following non-exhaustive brief points serve as a guide to the beliefs held by OCF:
- We believe the Bible as the inspired, infallible Word of God.

and for evermore.

- We believe that salvation is through faith in Jesus Christ.
- We believe that a believer shall spend an eternity in the presence of God.

other tongues.
