WHO WE ARE:
Oelwein Church is a Bible-teaching, Jesus-first church for real people in Oelwein. We preach the full gospel with clarity and boldness, we worship God with passion, and we welcome people from every background — all so we can lead Oelwein and the surrounding communities to know Jesus, walk with Him, and put God’s ways above our own.
OUR MISSION:
1. Worship God
We come together to lift up the name of Jesus. We sing, open the Bible, pray, and respond. Our worship is joyful and Spirit-led—centered on God’s presence.
2. Build up the Saints
We teach the Bible plainly and equip believers to follow Jesus in everyday life. We grow through Scripture, prayer, serving, and real community.
3. Reach the Lost
We share the gospel clearly and love our neighbors in practical ways. OCC exists for people not here yet—so we invite, serve, and generously support our communities.
OCC’S STATEMENT OF FAITH
We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God.
We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory.
We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful people, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential.
We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life.
We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection of life and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.
We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.
