2023 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 we discerned our vision to be a church that:
In 2017 OPCC covenanted together to carry out this vision for ministry as Rev. Laura was installed as your Senior Pastor in September.
No matter when we (or Patrick Mahomes) have joined together in our efforts, we always need to reassess our “game plan.” For the past couple of years our game plans has been to navigate a world-changing pandemic, and institutional-changing dynamics in the life of the church.
In the same way that our Kansas City Chiefs continue to work on their game plan for success, we too continue work on our “game plan” for intentional missional ministry. We want to engage the missional activities of our church to match our 2014 vision, and make specific plans for the next 12 – 18 months about how we will live-out these core values in all that we do. To that end we have several upcoming activities that we hope you will attend so that you can play an important part of this “game plan” in the life of our congregation. Please mark your calendars for each of these activities and be on the look-out for more information about each of these gatherings.
