FAQ
How long is service?
Our services start at 6:30 p.m. and go until…We never want to quench the Holy Spirit, so we will leave our altars open as long as needed! We also understand that we have services on a weeknight, and sometimes, you may have to leave a service before it is concluded! That’s fine! Kids have school, parents have early wake-up times, we get it! Thankfully our sanctuary is laid out in such a manner it’s not disruptive if you have to sneak out!
What about my kids?
We have a clean and fun Nursery for our Omega Lambs ages 1 – 4. For our Omega Cubs ages 5 – 11, we have a dynamic Children’s church program. They have worship service, altar call, prayer, and biblical teaching, all in a fun, loving environment.
We take the safety and security of our children very seriously, so each of our volunteers and staff in these areas have been fully vetted with local, state, and federal background checks.

How can I meet with the Pastor or Leadership?
Here at OCI, we have several incredible leaders who can hear you, pray with you, and help depending on your situation. Our Pastor, Dr. B, loves to be available for everyone, but unfortunately, with all the ministries he is in charge of, his time is limited. However, we have an excellent Associate Pastor, Clay Gunderson, with whom you can meet! Clay is a licensed Bishop with the Church of God and is a spiritual son of Dr. Cutshall.
