Welcome | Ozaukee Congregational Church

	Outreach
	Members of Ozaukee Congregational Church show the power of God’s love by humbly doing good things in His name. From our youngest members to our most senior, our church community is actively, quietly involved.

	Locally Church members are active in the local community. You’ll find them in these places: • Habitat for Humanity • Salvation Army Bell Ringing • CROP Walk to Fight Hunger • Advocates • Nehemiah Project • Interfaith Caregivers • The Ozaukee Humane Society • Literacy Services of Wisconsin, Inc.

	Farther Afield We aren’t certain of many things, but one thing we know for sure: the truest way to spread the spirit of Christianity is by giving freely, and without expectation, of ourselves. Visit to Mission Mazahua San Felipe del Progreso, Mexico June 22 - July 1, 2010 Ben Helm, Cindy Helm, and Rob Fredrickson were OCC's representatives on a 30-some-person, multi-church mission trip team.
