LIFE GROUPS
LIFE GROUPS
While Life Groups will always have some element of gospel engagement, Life Groups are not a Bible Study or a Small Group, it’s an open invitation to gather and discuss key elements of life that many of us wrestle with. These life events also play a key role in our walk with Christ and how we engage with others. Life Groups are open to anyone who desire to engage in open discussion, learn together and grow together on the related topics. Each session is accompanied with a video and a provided discussion guide, but led by the spirit. Come join us and let’s talk about it!
MARRIAGE WORKSHOP
(Every other Thur at 6:30PM)
We are excited to present a Marriage Seminar as part of OVBC’s Life Group series for our 2025 Fall term! In today’s time, the meaning and context of marriage is constantly changing based on culture, traditions, and other influences. In this workshop, we will explore how God intends for a loving marriage to grow and thrive according to His Will and Design! If you are engaged, newly married, or a seasoned couple who would love to continue experiencing the blessings of your relationship, please join us for an in-depth study of marriage. Come join and help us grow in our relationships together!
