"You belong before you believe, and you believe before you become."
An 8-week expository Bible study through one of Scripture's most joy-saturated letters — beginning January 11, 2026. Explore the messages, download your study guides, and join us on the journey.
A Church Built for the Wondering, Wandering, and Wounded
Our House Christian Fellowship (OHCF) is a church plant in East Mesa, Arizona — a community where you don't have to have it all figured out to belong. We believe faith is a journey, not a destination, and we want to walk it with you.
This series, Philippians: Joy for the Journey, is one of the first expository studies we're offering as we form the core of our new church. Written by the Apostle Paul from a Roman prison cell, Philippians is a letter that defies its circumstances — overflowing with joy, gratitude, and hope. If Paul could write that from there, there's something worth paying attention to.
Whether you're brand new to church, returning after a long time away, or a seasoned Bible student, there's a seat at the table for you.
Each week includes a video message and three downloadable PDF guides — everything you need to go deeper on your own or lead a small group. Click any button below to watch or download.
Resources are added each week as the series progresses. Check back after each Sunday for the latest message video and downloadable guides. All PDFs are free to download and share.
