About Us
The Online Christian Church has been created so that any Christian anywhere in the world can connect for scripture-based teaching, fellowship, and prayer. Our end goal is to connect Christians in cities around the world for in-person fellowship during our weekly service or any other meetings broadcast on Zoom and YouTube. On the Ministry Connection page you will find a list of current in-person satellite locations for the OCC. At satellite locations all are welcome to:
-
meet during live broadcasts where a Church Leader will contribute to the meeting​​
-
receive additional messages from the church leaders after the service
​
Our weekly service may be held in many different locations, but the home of the OCC is in Star, Idaho where Pastor Lynn Hardy delivers messages. Please check the events the week before to see where the weekly meeting will be broadcast from.
​
Membership
We do not require the congregation to register for membership, however, all church leaders will be listed as a member on the Church Leader's page.

Tenants of Faith
-
The scriptures are inspired by the Spirit of God and the basis for all teachings within the church. 2 Timothy 3:16, All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is
profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: -
There is one true God, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel. Mark 12:29, “And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord.”
-
Jesus is the Son of God. We accept Him as our Lord. We will obey His commandment to love one another, 1 John 3:23. We do not attack other Christians.
-
This ministry operates under God's principles. Our Lord stated in Matthew 10:8, “freely ye have received, freely give.” All materials, prayer, and meetings shall be free.
-
The Church is to only use authority established by the word of God. Romans 13:1-2, “Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.”
