Orthodox Christian Fellowship (OCF)
Student Quotes
"I am very grateful that there is OCF at Dartmouth. It gives a wonderful opportunity to learn more about God and an Orthodox way of life through participating in services and communicating with beautifully devoted people. OCF helps to find the answers on questions about Christianity. It teaches how to build one's own personal relationship with God and other people and how to make oneself grow in faith everyday of life under any circumstances. It is really a very enriching experience." -Inna Sapega
"The OCF has been a constant companion to me, guiding me through the daily challenges of college life at Dartmouth. Through the OCF I have grown spiritually and have come to understand and accept these challenges with a strength of heart that lifts me above the greatest obstacles. Truly, the OCF offers a steadfast foundation of spiritual insight to complement and enlighten an academic and social edification at Dartmouth." -Vadim A. Villarroel
