C.L.A.S.S. 101 – Discovering Church Membership & Baptismal Class (PART I & II) (Matthew N.)
In Part I, we will be studying the book ‘Discipleship Essentials, focusing on the first 6 studies dealing with understanding salvation, the meaning of baptism and Holy Communion. Later on, in Part II, the Christian & Missionary Alliance history & thought, and the Four-fold gospel will be incorporated in a 3-hour afternoon session with Pastor Daniel, which is mandatory for all baptismal candidates and transfer of membership candidates.

C.L.A.S.S. 201 – Discovering Spiritual Maturity (Audrey TAL)
This course is the second series of the Life Development Process and is for those who are members of the OCAC family. It will focus on the Four Basic Habits that every Christian needs to develop in order to grow spiritually mature. It will equip you with the skills that you need to cultivate and sustain them throughout your life. The prerequisite for this course is C.L.A.S.S. 101.

C.L.A.S.S. 329 – NT Study: Revelation (Sam S. and John L.)
In this Sunday school class, we will walk through the Book of Revelation
together. Revelation is the final book of the Bible. It is different from the other books in the Bible in terms of its writing style and content. Most people find Revelation hard to understand because John uses a lot of apocalyptic imageries in his writing. But in Rev 1:3, God promised "Blessed is the one who reads the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear it and take to heart what is written in it, because the time is near." This class will offer exegetical and background information on the text, and attempt to unveil various prophetic themes that tie the book together by reading the book chapter by chapter.

C.L.A.S.S. 401 – Discovering My Life Mission (Kandice F. and Pastor Daniel)
This course is the last of our ESM Life Development Process series at the OCAC. After you have discovered your SHAPE and are serving at the church, you are now ready to embark on a most exciting journey – that of making disciples of all nations. Every Christian is created, saved and called to be light of the world and salt of the earth. What a privilege! What a responsibility! The truth is simple: If Christians do not share Jesus Christ with the world, no one will! The purpose of this class is for you to: Clarify the gospel message, Identify the styles of personal evangelism and be challenged to impact your world for Jesus Christ. We will also be looking at Missions and how we can get involved. Pre-requisites: CLASS 101, 201 and 301.

C.L.A.S.S. 506 – Love to Pray - An adventure in Prayer (Vien L. and Miranda K.)
This class aims to bring us closer to growing a culture of prayer that is natural, spontaneous, and goes beyond the surface. In a small group atmosphere (max 3 people), we'll be going through daily devotionals that focus on prayer, to provide greater discipline in our prayer lives. Most importantly, we'll be devoting a large chunk of time to pray, in particular, for those in our lives who do not yet know Christ. Some prayer applications that we'll be taking on in the class, will be: praying through the Scripture, prayer triplets, and prayer walks.

*  All classes are taken place from 11:15 am - 12:45 pm at the Somerset Community Centre.
