Society Meeting Results
Last night the board presented the plans for the building addition to the society and many great questions were asked and answered. We asked those present if they approved of this plan to expand our facilities in order to develop our youth for service in Christ's kingdom for generations to come. Our society responded in a big way by passing the proposal with an 84% majority vote!

Over the next few weeks, we will be putting together more details on the fundraising part of this plan, so stay tuned to see how you can be an active part of continuing the mission of OCCS through this building expansion!

Thank you from Kim Starkenburg
A huge thank you to the OCCS/Covenant Kids family for all of your kind words, thoughts, prayers, and cards as I celebrated the end of my career. I have loved the opportunity that I have been given to work with you and your children through the years. I couldn’t have asked for a better place to work, better colleagues and friends, and better students and families. All of you have been a huge blessing in my life. It has been such a privilege to experience God’s faithfulness through the years.Thank you for the privilege of allowing me to work with your children. My prayer is that the Lord of the Universe will continue to be the Lord of each of your hearts.
