The Oregon Center For Christian Values would like to thank Warner Pacific College for hosting, and all (600+) of you that attended the SHANE CLAIBORNE event last night. This event was a huge success and we want to encourage you to get more involved in your communities as well as with OCCV.
We did not want to overwhelm anyone last night, but if you would like to become a member of OCCV we highly encourage you to get involved. You can join by going to www.occv.org/join and if you join now, while supplies last, you can get an awesome OCCV t-shirt, or the “Little Book of Biblical Justice” as a thank you - but supplies are limited so if you want either we recommend you to join TODAY!
