It’s our desire to see your church “Pick Two”, one from each column to begin their ministry to vulnerable kids and families.

For example, your church could be an Advocate Church (Promoter) in the area of Family Support. Or perhaps you want to mentor kids and train and coordinate the volunteers with help from OCA staff you would be an Implementing Church (Owner) in the area of Life Coaching.
