Orange County Community Builders
Walden, New York,
United States
(Orange County)
 Orange County Community Builders (OCCB) is a group of Christian families that have decided to live out our church life within the community rather than just ‘do church’ as we visit the church building a couple times a week.
The early church, as recorded in Acts, came together as a body, worshiping God and available for each other as needs arose. In today’s society we have become caught up with “doing church.” We visit the church building a couple times a week and then live our lonely lives out in the world where society teaches that we don’t need anyone but ourselves. We, the OCCB, have a desire to build strong communities, as in the days of Acts, by living in close proximity to each other.
