Free At Last Support Groups

The Counseling & Support Groups of Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship are united under one umbrella, now called the Free At Last Support Groups.  Every Monday we will meet as one family beginning with praise and worship, testimonies, and specialized breakout sessions.  We are here to provide an environment that fosters growth through unity and support, so no one has to struggle alone.

Each group is designed to encourage, equip, and enable participants to become healthy and productive believers in Christ. The classes offered are interactive and structured with each individual's needs in mind.

Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship will not use or share your personal information with any third party outside of the relationship entered into between OCBF and the individual. Your information is kept confidential.

Please register here for the group in which you are interested. Free At Last is held Monday nights 6:53 – 9:30 p.m. in the Worship Center - Choir Room. The cost is $25.00. Don't let the cost deter you! Session starts May 10th. 

*** For more details or questions, please contact the Counseling Ministry at 214-672-9100, ext. 2110. ***
