"A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so that you must love one another. By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another." John 13:34-35
Small Groups: Covenant Groups are small groups divided by grade & gender. This is the heartbeat of our school year ministries! Each group is led by a group of mature adult disciples who have been called by God to this ministry & who have been equipped/trained as small group leaders. In addition to food, fun and fellowship, each meeting is designed to draw the group closer together by drawing everyone closer to God. These groups really do share life together.

Retreats: Our main goal for this time together is to create shared memories & tear down walls. In a large youth group with students from dozens of different schools, this special weekend is a precious unifying gift from the God who created us all.
Camp: God has been using camp to bless the young AND old of Otter Creek since 1989. If you asked any random OCYG teen, "What's your favorite week of the year?" The answer will almost always be, "Camp!" The main reason for that is the love that one literally feels walking among the fields, visiting the cabins or dining in the mess hall. It is almost impossible not to learn something powerful about God's heart for community at Otter Creek Christian Camp. You can ask just about anybody and they will tell you: Camp is as close as you're gonna get to heaven on earth.
