When you're hurting, it's difficult to focus on anything other than the pain. Whether it's a conflict in your marriage, an addiction, a death in the family, or another emotionally difficult issue, life can quickly become unmanageable. 

We have created a Care Network to help people proactively grow as individuals and as couples, and also give assistance for those seasons in life when you need someone to lean on.

CELEBRATE RECOVERY: There are times in life when you don't want to walk alone--times when you need a shoulder to lean on. The Celebrate Recovery MInistry can help those experiencing needs of all kinds. Overcoming life's hurts, habits, and hang-ups requires close accountability and God's transforming power. This group meets on the OVC campus every Friday night at 7:00. The teen program, "Life Hurts, God Heals", meets simultaneously.

CARE NETWORK: When we have emotional needs, we can usually lean on friends, family members, or a community group. Sometimes, however, problems become more complicated and we need the guidance of a professional. When that time comes, the Care Network staff can help you find a competent, caring Christian counselor, psychologist, or psychiatrist to help you through your time of crisis.

PREMARITAL EQUIPPING: The decision to marry is one of the most important choices we make in life. Preparation for marriage involves much more than detailing a beautiful wedding. Our desire is to help you establish a marriage that will endure and that you will enjoy for a lifetime. The Premarital Mentoring Ministry trains mentors to walk beside you through this time and offers resources to prepare you for what lies ahead.

MARRIAGE COUNSELING: Intimate Encounters was created to help couples that have grown apart learn how to get close again and for couples who are still close to take their marriages to the next level.

CROWN FINANCIAL: Everyone faces financial hardships from time to time. Job loss, divorce, health problems, or debt can cause tremendous financial and emotional strain. There are times when you may need encouragement and advice from someone who understands what you are going through. Click here for more information.
