2023-2024 Mission Planning
In 2014, one Patrick Mahomes was beginning his career at Texas Tech University, to then make his way to the Kansas City Chiefs in 2017.
In 2014 OPCC went through a visioning process to identify the vision we have for "being church" in the world, and to identify the core values by which we will follow our mission to be God's love in Christ in this world. From this process in 2014 we discerned our vision to be a church that:
In the same way that our Kansas City Chiefs continue to adapt their game plan for success to go to the Super Bowl in 2023 and 2024, we too continue work on our “game plan” for intentional missional ministry. To that end, in 2023 all members and friends of OPCC were invited to participate in “Missional Planning” gatherings to identify the priorities of how we will live-out the core values of who we are. Through these gatherings that took place in February, March, May and July of 2023, we identified the following four priorities, to focus our ministry through the end of 2024. These four priorities were identified by your participation, and with guidance from our elders, as the ways we will live out our five core values.
Your OPCC leadership continues to discern the best ways that this can and will guide our actions in 2024, and we continue to seek your input.
