All donated proceeds will go directly to OCCM Midtown and OCCM GA/TN College Ministries.

COME AS YOU ARE

People who were nothing like Jesus gravitated towards Him, and what is true of Christ should be true of us. Regardless of your background or past, your Savior invites you to come and see.

 
 

Transcendent Worship

Liturgical & personal worship points us to something so much bigger than ourselves. Our participation in the sacramental life is the foundation of our ancient faith and allows us to enter into a transformational life in Jesus.
