About Us:

Orcas Island is beautiful. Island Magazine calls it one the top ten islands in the world to call home and Orcas Island Community church (OICC) has served the people of Orcas Island for 131 years. 

OICC is a praying, worshipping, caring, learning, fellowshipping, serving church that reaches out locally and globally.

OICC chose to be a community church because it enables us to serve the diverse population of Orcas Island. Because there are only a few churches on Orcas Island, the community church serves people with diverse denominational. educational, economic and ethnic backgrounds. 

We think working for unity within diversity is the way Jesus intends it to be. As a matter of fact, the Apostle Paul said, “In Christ there is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.” We agree with Augustine, who advised, “in essentials unity, in non-essentials liberty and in all things charity."
