DENOMINATIONAL MEMBERS

Welcome to the Ohio Council of Churches

A Jesus Christ Movement For Unity, Justice & Peace!

The Ohio Council of Churches (OCC) is a partnership of 18 Christian denominations in 24 different organizational configurations or judicatories throughout Ohio. While our administrative offices are in Columbus, the Ohio Council of Churches is much larger than any office; it is all of us, together, across Ohio!

Justice & Advocacy Ministries

Wear Orange began on June 2, 2015. Since then, Wear Orange has expanded to a period of three days each year: National Gun Violence Awareness Day (the first Friday in June) and Wear Orange Weekend (the accompanying weekend). This year, Wear Orange will take place from June 2-4, 2023.
 

Like our nation’s gun violence crisis, orange is a color that can’t be ignored. On June 2, 2023, join us and #WearOrange to shine a light on gun violence that takes the lives of 43,000 people and devastates countless others in the US every single year.

We wear orange to call for an end to gun violence in all of its forms, including domestic violence, suicide, and city gun violence. During National Gun Violence Awareness Day and Wear Orange Weekend, honor survivors of gun violence by participating online and in your community. Learn more about how you can participate.
