This semester’s series, Living in Community, is designed to help us reflect on what it means to follow Christ side by side with friends, classmates, and the entire Church. Each of these ten posts comes from the OCF blog archives, offering wisdom, encouragement, and practical ideas for living the Christian life in community.

Use them in your chapter meetings, in small groups, or for personal reflection. Each post includes discussion questions to encourage meaningful and edifying conversation.

The semester will begin by focusing on personal formation, an essential part of Living in Community. Next, we’ll explore the communal life and the unity that lies there. Finally, we’ll end the semester with some practical tips for outreach among your wider community.
