Integrate Faith, Family and Profession through OCF

Do you want to meet another Christian service member? Would you like to find out about joining a local Bible study? Or, do you want to get more deeply involved with personal or team ministry?

If the answer to any of these questions is yes, then consider contacting Officers' Christian Fellowship (OCF) at 1-800-424-1984 or ocfdenver@ocfusa.org.

OCF, which has been active in the U.S. military since 1943, is a worldwide lay organization whose members form local fellowships on military installations, in neighborhoods on or near military bases, on board Navy and Coast Guard ships and in deployed units.

OCF regular members (current and former commissioned officers, warrant officers and those in training to be officers) and associate members (anyone else) are committed to spiritual development and spreading God's Word within the military.

Although members are as diverse as the military itself in terms of rank, position, specialty, etc., they all remain focused on the purpose of OCF: To glorify God by uniting Christian officers for biblical fellowship and outreach, equipping and encouraging them to minister effectively in the military society."
