Greetings!

As we continue our school year, I am amazed by the generosity and love that I witness daily in our ministry. I am thankful for the joy and support that is given to the Administration, to the teachers and to our children. As we work to build His Kingdom, God continues to bless our school and its ministry. In service to God, each person is given spiritual and ministry gifts. OCS recognizes that for some, giving is an expression of love and worship. The school depends on giving to cover the portion of our budget that is not met by tuition. We would like to offer an opportunity for regular giving to the ministry at OCS for those who feel called to give financially. Please pray about how you can be used in regular giving to OCS.

 

 

In Christ,

Roger VanDorp

Interim Superintendent
