College Age Ministry

In the middle 80s, a group of KWC students started attending Owensboro Christian Church. That prompted the beginning of a ministry geared toward all college-age people. Many church members prepared food and invited a group of sometimes 40 students into their homes for a Wednesday evening of food and bible study. Favorite foods were Hazel Jackson's pimento cheese sandwiches, Pizza, and Jane Hitchell's chocolate sauce. A favorite study was through the Book of James. Nights sitting around with those exciting young people, talking/arguing about bible texts and life in general was a wonderful encouragement to all those involved.

A Partial History Of Owensboro Christian Church

Restoration Movement Link The Owensboro Christian Church began as a dream in September of 1953 when the Men for Christ Evangelistic Association of South Central Kentucky had a vision of starting a New Testament Christian Church in Owensboro, Kentucky. In September of 1953 with the support of the Men for Christ, a church began in Owensboro -- the Owensboro Christian Church. The first service of the church was held in the auditorium of Owensboro High School on September 27, 1953, with 23 people present. Dave Rose, Evangelist of the Man for Christ, led the service.

About the Class and Bible Facts

This class is named "Bible Study Class" and that has meaning. We make an effort to keep our discussion on the Bible. We do not allow politics or any other current event to be the main focus of any conversation for very long. It is the teacher's intent to give the scripture top billing. We also try to include the entire bible in our discussion, not ignoring any part. We  read through different books of the Bible and made our discussion straight from the Bible. We work from a blog we produce with lessons emailed to each member. The blog is occbiblestudy.blogspot.com . Most class members are retired, but it is open to all ages. For most of us, the hardcore questions of the Bible have been answered years ago and faith is alive in our lives. So, our meetings are more inclined toward fellowship, encouragement, and spurring one another with some biblical concepts.  2 Timothy 2:15 Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rig...
