Ministry in Action
About USCGA OCF: Cadets have access to a wide range of activities that foster personal development and spiritual growth. Among these activities are retreats, devotional weekends, camping trips, and service projects that allow cadets to engage with and contribute to their communities.
For those interested in deepening their faith, there are opportunities for Bible study and prayer groups, while the mentoring program provides a chance for members to learn from experienced leaders and develop their own leadership skills.
The praise team offers a creative outlet for musically inclined cadets, and chapel events provide a space for worship and connection. With so many options available, UCGA OCF cadets can find something that aligns with their interests and goals, contributing to a vibrant and supportive community.
