OCC Note: Upcoming February 2024 Fellowship Opportunities

Join men of the community for pizza and conversation.

Join the women of the community for a vibrant ice cream social!

Join us for our Annual Chili Cook-off!

The premise is simple: invite your friends and family, bring a batch of your signature chili, or come and be a judge, and prepare yourself for a fantastic day of cutthroat competition. Why is the chili battle so enticing? To start, it taps into our competitive spirits, taking the typical ‘bring a dish’ request into an actual event full of fun anticipation. So instead of our monthly potluck dinner, Let's have a Chili Cook Off!!!

What’s more, chili cook-offs cater to another human desire: hunger. Is a game of monopoly going to fill your tummy? Will a game of flag football send you home with leftovers? We think not. Therefore, it seems only natural that people who love food embrace this unique chance to interact with friends while testing their culinary chops. Not to mention, there has to be a winner. And when there’s a winner, there’s a prize! A Trophy!

Everybody loves chili, but everybody does it a little differently. Some make it spicy; some make it meaty; some make it, well, white!

Because of this, chili is the ideal food for bringing people together for the time-honored tradition of the chili cook-off. These competitions are held in many communities. What better place to hold a Chili Cook Off than Ocean Community Church.

There’s nothing like meeting people and having great conversations with a bowl of chili in hand.

Sign up today if you would like to be enter in this year's competition by emailing Dawn at artbydawn@comcast.net
