On this page you will find descriptions of all of the various ministries that we have at ODCC. We believe that according to Romans 12 we all have our own spiritual gifts given to us by God through His Holy Spirit. We use these various gifts in these ministries to help our family of God here at ODCC thrive and grow.

As a ministry, we strive to be the “hands and feet” of corporate worship. We desire to express our devotion to our Savior and facilitate an attitude of worship throughout the congregation.
