An Orthodox Christian Fellowship (OCF) is a student led, pan-orthodox fellowship on a
university or college campus, whose members come together for fellowship, to learn more about
the Orthodox Christian Faith, to worship God, and to serve through various ministries. For the
Orthodox Christian, the Truth is not an intellectual concept. It is experienced by developing a
personal relationship with Jesus Christ as He reveals Himself in and through His Church.
