A common theme that we find throughout the Bible is the idea that followers of Jesus should be students, people who continue to study the things of God. Our answer to that is what we call the OCC Institute. 

The OCC Institute is our way of equipping you to know God's word, to grow in relationship with Jesus and to be more confident in helping other people come to know who He is. 

Who is it for?

Level I is for everyone! We believe every Christian should be a part of these classes and studies.

Level II is for those who have completed the Level I core classes.

Level III is for those that are a part of a church planting team.

  • Level III

    Church Planting is part of Oviedo City Church's strategy to fulfill the great commission. To that end, Level 3 of the Institute will provide a training environment for leadership teams to prepare to be sent out to launch new churches. It will consist of a 9 month program that entails the inner-workings of the local church.
