Pastoral Support

We strongly believe that Jesus gives us life, freedom & hope – John 10:10 & 11
We also believe that the family of God is to be treasured and built up – 1 Cor 12:12-27 (especially 25-27)

When we go through the trials and hardships of life we want to look to Jesus, who is the hope of the world, and also we want be there for each other.

At ODC there are a number of different ways you can find support and encouragement, whatever the challenge you are facing, whether this be emotional, mental or spiritual struggles such as anxiety and loneliness, financial issues, or relationship hardships.

Small groups can provide strong pillars of support and a place to pray for each other.
We also have a Pastoral Care Team made up of staff members, and lots of faithful volunteers.

Connecting with others

Small groups are an outstanding way to connect in and be family together. We strongly encourage everyone to be in a small group, as being part of a caring community is so Biblical and helpful in dealing with the difficulties life throws at us.
