My soul glorifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior. (Luke 1:46-47)
The purpose of the OIEPC Women's and Men's Ministries is to reach out to others in "spiritual love" and to build a firm foundation of love and friendship. Our programs reach out to all ages in many different ways whether it be through Bible studies, serving our community or providing "prayer shawls".
