Overseas Christian Fellowship (O.C.F)

Our vision is to reach out to international students in Australia, build them up to be Christ's disciples and send them back as disciple-makers.

 

What is Overseas Christian Fellowship (OCF)?

O is for Overseas:

OCF Melbourne Uni is a student-led, interdenominational Christian club catered to international students in the University of Melbourne, but we do have local students in the club as well.

C is for Christian:

We believe in Jesus Christ and His Word, so we gather every Friday night for a time of prayer, worship, and cell group bible studies. If you are still exploring the faith and want to ask the hard questions about Christianity, we also have Discovery Group.

F is for Fellowship:

This is a home away from home where you can grow in a Christian community. We hold many events and activities throughout the year, including cell retreats, camps, sports and various training workshops to help you know God better. We also reach our campus by giving out coffee during exam weeks and hotcross buns during Easter. There are many opportunities to serve and further develop your gifts with our various ministries: worship, prayer, outreach, cell groups, BUM (Build Up Ministry), admin.

Whoever you are and wherever you are from, if you want your university experience to be life-changing, join us!

Where do we meet?

Time: Fridays, 6:30 pm Venue: Arts West Forum Theatre (Check our Facebook page for updates)
