Church Health and Revitalization

"A Healthy Church is a Reproducing Church."

OC began in 1985 with the vision to empower Canadian churches to grow and plant. Foundational to all that we do is the belief that God loves the Church, the Bride of Christ. We belive that it is our role to come alongside fo Denominations, churches and individuals to assist and encourage them in preparing "the Bride" fro her Groom. (Eph 5, Rev. 19)

Our approach toward Empowering churches includes Research, Coaching, and Resources.

Resources and Services

We offer a range of tools and resources to help churches become healthy, reproducing organisms which more effectively reach their communities.
