Our Purpose

Orange County Community Builders (OCCB) is a group of Christian families that have decided to live out our church life within the community or what we call ACTS living, rather than just ‘do church’ as we visit the church building a couple times a week . It is a different approach to Christian co-housing than some groups who develop a separate area to live in. Our Christian living communities are with regular neighborhoods emphasizing community Christian fellowship not isolationism.

Our desire is to “build community” by inviting families to join us in our christian living communities, leaving the current fad of living off by yourself with acres between you and your neighbor and live within walking distance of each other. This allows the “Community” to be much more freely involved in each other’s lives. Eating a couple meals a week together, doing activities together, being easily available to each other as members of the body of Christ are just some of the benefits we enjoy. We will have a greater impact for Christ as the neighbors see what we are by how we live. (“They will know we are Christians by our love!”)

We Believe

• We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God.
• We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
• We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory.
• We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful people, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential.
• We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life.
• We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection of life and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.
• We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ
