Welcome to USAFA OCF
Our mission is to engage cadets in Bible Study, Biblical Fellowship, and Discipleship in order to equip them to be Christ-centered leaders in the Air and Space Forces.
Ministry in Action
About USAFA OCF: We meet weekly on Monday nights on campus for Worship, Fellowship, and small group Bible Studies. For those interested in deeper relationships and study, we meet at the Homan’s home for food and Bible Study on Saturday nights. Men’s and Women’s studies meet weekly on base as well. In addition, cadets meet with mentors for one-on-one discipleship during the week with Ministry Team leaders.
We have regular retreats at OCF’s Spring Canyon Conference Center where cadets dive deeper into the Word through gifted speakers/teachers while enjoying God’s creation in Colorado. This allows cadets to forge deeper relationships with God, the Ministry Team, and each other. Also, we endeavor to link cadets up with service projects to include Mission’s trips over Spring Break.
Each year we also host Open Houses at the Homan’s for incoming cadets and their families the evening before In-Processing Day in June, and on Parent’s Weekend in September. In addition, we host reunion receptions for OCF grads and their families in the Fall. Lastly, we link cadets up with active OCF studies all across the world where they are assigned after graduation.
50th Anniversary
OCF at USAFA – 1973 to 2023
In Oct of 1973, Dick and Donna Brookes became the first OCF staff whose mission concentrated on one academy. The Brookes’ service was followed by Rob and Ginny Woodruff in 1981, Terry and Artha Stokka in 1993, Steve and Rita Wade in 2003, and we were honored to answer the call in 2022. To honor Christ’s legacy through OCF at USAFA, we are planning several events to celebrate this year. Please join us!
50th Anniversary Celebration Dinner – 1 July at 1600: All five OCF at USAFA staff families plan to be in attendance! All grads, supporters, friends and families are invited to this reception and dinner here in Colorado Springs. Please join us and perhaps visit Spring Canyon for one of their programs the week before or after.
50th Anniversary Retreat at Spring Canyon – 27 to 29 Oct: Join our cadets at Spring Canyon for their fall retreat. The Stokkas and the Wades will be our guest speakers on the topic of “Leaving a Legacy for Christ.” Register now.
