A Space for Young People Who Love God
Open Circle started as a college society in National College of Ireland (NCI) back in 2018. The vision was for OC to be a space for students in university to gather and have a safe space to gather, learn and have conversations about God.
By the grace of God, over the years OC has grown into the what it is today. No longer just being a college society or a space just for university students. OC is a space for young people across different disciplines and stages of life to come and gather to hear the word, worship and grow deeper in intimacy with God.
Our anchor scripture is Proverbs 27:17 "As iron sharpens iron so a friend sharpens a friend". That is what OC exists to do! We exist to impact, transform and develop people through the revelation of Jesus Christ in all spheres of influence. We are part of the greatest cause on earth, the cause of Jesus Christ.
Open Circle Values
Worship is the heartbeat in Open Circle. We want people to know and experience God through worship and true genuine fellowship. We are against the distractions and the performative ways, we are after the true authentic moments.
It is our mandate to point everything back to Jesus Christ. We will do any and everything short of sin to reach the lost. We ensure that the love of Christ and salvation is at the heart of our message.
People are at the centre of what we do here at Open Circle and we understand the value of having people feeling part of a community of love, transparency, trust and growth.
We believe being the realest version of ourselves makes us more relatable, impactful and influential than who we pretend to be.
Any and everyone that interacts with our organisation deserves to be respected regardless of their background. There is no tolerance for disrespect in and out of the team.
We are committed to doing all that we do as we are doing it unto God. We don’t do this to be seen but we do this to Serve the Body of Christ.
Here at OC We strive to grow in every area of our lives. We encourage and value growth in each other.
Creativity is our God given nature so we will ensure that we are creative in all we do. We look for creativity in every aspect of OC. “It doesn’t have to be original it just has to be you”
At Open Circle we believe that what we do should never be a burden but should be enjoyable and fun.
We want to serve God and have fun while doing so. We don’t have to but we Get to.
We believe and value the gifts and talents of our teammates so we will give honest and encouraging feedback. We believe feedback helps us fix what we may be ignorant to.
