OCC is looking for a full-time pastor who has a heart for worship and local missions,
engages with our community, is a servant leader who joyfully leads by example, and
delegates with wisdom. Plus, someone who is willing to lovingly confront beliefs and
doctrine contrary to God’s Word while preaching and teaching sound biblical principles.
· OCC is a growing, compassionate church family striving to live out our mission and purpose statement in our everyday lives.
· OCC is an established church with a rich and impactful history that has been in Franklin County Kansas for 135 years.
· The well cared for and debt-free facility is in a residential area among family homes, apartment complexes, several other churches, and an elementary school.
· Ottawa, located less than an hour drive from Kansas City, the county seat for Franklin County, is a blue-collar community with a rich history and a lot to offer to anyone wanting to get back to that small town feel, and yet has many of the conveniences of a larger city. It has beautiful parks, a bustling, historic downtown, two supermarkets, a sports complex, multiple industries, an Advent Health hospital, and Ottawa University.
· In 2010 OCC purchased 10 acres and built the current facility, and within just a few short years we completely paid off the mortgage.
· Today, OCC is a mature congregation of believers, diverse in age, professions, & denominational backgrounds. We are a welcoming, fun-loving, Bible believing, caring family of believers seeking to connect people to Jesus by living out the Great Commandment and the Great Commission.
· OCC believes God gifted us with a mission to seek out families in need in the community and demonstrate the love of Christ in tangible ways. We believe that in doing so the opportunity will present itself to share the gospel message of His great love for us all.
