What is OCF?

Orthodox Christian Fellowship (OCF) is a student-led group of young Orthodox Christian college students who gather to embody the four pillars of OCF: fellowship, education, worship, and service. We gather every week in fellowship to strengthen our community as Orthodox college students, we hold discussions on our faith and the practice of Orthodoxy to learn more about Christian living, we engage with our local church communities, and we aim to serve both our church and school communities. We are supported by Annunciation Cathedral in our efforts, but the day-to-day running of OCF is done entirely by local college students who are passionate about their faith, and want to connect with other Orthodox people.

We lead a group called OCF at the Fenway Colleges, which includes schools like Northeastern, Wentworth, MCPHS, and MassArt, as well as many others. Students from all schools, and in all grades are welcome to attend OCF! OCF meets every Thursday at 6:00 PM at Annunciation Cathedral, with a wide variety of meeting topics, from dance nights, to vespers services, to discussions and Bible studies on our Christian faith. If you’re an Orthodox college student looking for community, come meet with us at OCF!

The president of OCF at Northeastern University is Ambrose McCallum. Ambrose is a fourth-year Environmental and Sustainability Sciences and Landscape Architecture student. His home parish is St. Mary Orthodox Church in Cambridge, and he has been president of OCF since 2024. To reach out to Ambrose, please send an email to mccallum.da@northeastern.edu.
