Caring Ministries Pre-Marriage & Marriage Support Special Delivery Prayer Aid & Assistance Biblical Counseling Celebrate Recovery Support Groups

Celebrate RecoveryCelebrate Recovery
The stated purpose of Celebrate Recovery is to fellowship and celebrate God’s healing power in our lives through the “8 Recovery Principles.” This experience allow us to “be changed.” By working and applying these Biblical principles, we begin to grow spiritually. We become free from our addictive, compulsive and dysfunctional behaviors. This freedom creates peace, serenity, joy and most importantly, a stronger personal relationship with God and others. As we progress through the program we discover our personal, loving and forgiving Higher Power—Jesus Christ, the only true Higher Power.

Aid & Assistance
Overlake offers help to many under-resourced families and individuals in our local community. Overlake provides emergency financial assistance to those who regularly attend Overlake Christian Church, and also to those who are not regular attenders.

Information on who is eligible for emergency financial assistance can be found on our Aid and Assistance Applications located in the Welcome Center and reception areas of the church.

Donations of non-perishable food items may also be dropped off at the receptionist area at the back of the church to support OCC's food bank.

Biblical Counseling
“Bear one another’s burdens and in this way fulfill the law of Christ.”
Allow us to help carry your burden. Every biblical counselor understands emotional pain, dashed dreams and God’s love. Our biblical counselors are caring committed Christians who have biblical knowledge and a wealth of life experiences. They are trained in biblical counseling and are available during daytime and evening hours.
