As an essential component of our church, they focus on the organization, financial, and practical needs of the community.

Our Countless Dedicated Volunteers
The Royal Priesthood Using Their Giftings
Without the selfless service and the commitment of our volunteers OCC would not exist! Churches often begin with volunteers and a vision. Osceola Community Church is blessed to have so many people willing to give their time in service to others and our community. Most of our leaders started as volunteers doing what may seem like modest tasks, but every role matters. Even Pastor Josiah attended and volunteered at OCC for almost 7 years prior to pastoring here. We are servants at heart, and we pray that never changes!
