Life Groups
Life Groups
Starting the week of February 15th (for 6 weeks) small groups will be meeting once a week to discuss topics from our new Sermon Series.
Here's the heart of it: God transforms our lives by transforming our thinking. Romans 12:2 tells us to "be transformed by the renewing of your mind"—and for the next seven weeks, we're going to learn what that actually looks like in practice. We'll be combining biblical truth with what neuroscience confirms about how our brains can actually change, all empowered by the Holy Spirit.
We want to invite you—not just to show up on Sundays, but to go all in with us:
1. Join us Sunday mornings. Different teachers will be bringing their unique perspectives each week, and we'll have space for the Holy Spirit to move.
2. Grab a daily devotional. We've created a 42-day devotional written specifically for this series—by our team, for you. It's designed to walk you through a practical process of mind renewal six days a week. This is where the real transformation happens—in the daily, consistent practice. Pick one up this Sunday!
3. Sign up for a Life Group. For six weeks, starting the week of Feb. 15th, groups will be meeting in homes throughout our community to process what we're learning, share struggles and victories, and pray for each other. Transformation happens best in community. Your brain is actually designed for connection—and when we practice new patterns together, they stick. We have groups meeting different nights of the week, so there's likely one that fits your schedule. We see Life Groups in OV as one of the best ways for you to get to know other people in our church community. I encourage you to not just be a Sunday attender for this series. The people who engage with the devotional daily and participate in a Life Group are going to see the most fruit.
Life Group Days and Locations:
Mondays at 6pm at Jim & Dina's house ( 27 Joshua Ct. Hamilton, OH 45013)

This series includes:
Sunday morning teachings to equip and inspire, combining biblical truth with cutting-edge insights.
6-week Life Groups meeting in homes—because transformation happens best in community
