Getting Connected

Do you ever look around Ocean View Church and wonder what's next? If so, then join us for “DISCOVERING OVC”!  We have so much to offer you and your family and Discovering OVC is the best place to learn how you can jump in, get involved and take the next step.

Here is your chance to meet new people, and learn the story and vision behind OVC. This hour and a half orientation meets in the Cafeteria every other month. It provides an overview of our mission, strategy, ministry environments, and will help you find various ways to form new relationships and find true community with other Christ Followers.

If you have been considering joining OVC, this is your chance to make it official. Oh, and by the way, it's a FREE lunch! For more details, or to RSVP, contact Cara by phone @ 619.424.7870 or email here.
