YOU ARE WELCOME HERE!

If you are checking out Otterbein Church for the first time, we want you to know that we would be honored to have you visit us. We have new people at our church every week. We want you to be as comfortable as possible, so we have put together some information to help make your first visit enjoyable.

We have something for everyone!

OC KIDS

We have excellent children's programming on Sundays. Nursery and Preschool ministries are available at all services. Kindergarten-Grade 5 ministries are available at 9:30 & 11:00. We use a secure check-in system to ensure only those who are supposed to pick up a child are allowed to do so. All staff and volunteers have had security clearances prior to serving in our children's ministry. For more information about OC Kids, click here.

OC YOUTH

Our youth ministry includes students grades 6–12 & meets in the OC Youth Building (the white tent-like building) at 9:30. All staff & volunteers share a passion to work with teenagers & have had background clearances prior to serving within our youth ministry. For more information about OC Youth, click here.
We believe that becoming more like Jesus involves every follower of Jesus participating in worship, learning, connecting & serving environments. As such we offer many opportunities for those things to take place. We gather on Sunday mornings for worship. We offer adult classes & Bible studies for learning. We offer small group environments for people to connect with other followers of Jesus. We have many ways to serve in our church & outside our church. For more information about Adults, click here.
