Welcome

Welcome to Oregon Christian Writers!

We are writers from all walks of life - published and unpublished, students and retirees, fiction and non-fiction - with one goal: writing for Him.

Check out the links to the left to find out more about us, upcoming One-Day Conferences, our annual Summer Coaching Conference, and more!

About us

We are an organization of Christian writers, serving the Pacific Northwest region - though we have members from many parts of the world. We offer three one-day conferences each year (winter, spring, fall) and a four-day coaching conference each summer, as well as newsletters, critique groups and much more!

Treasurer's Update: Summer Conference Success

You will learn many good things from summer conference this year in the write- ups from the rest of the team; however, I want to comment on several as treasurer.

Even though the number of attenders was slightly lower than last year, the expenses and income are even. OCW will once again be able to keep a CD or Money Market fund for future events and emergencies. The increased fees for the one-day conferences proved to be just what we needed to keep everything in the black.

The dues cover the limited overhead it takes to keep OCW functioning. The accountants file all the necessary forms with state and federal government as a not-for-profit group. We are working together as a team of happy people pleased to be serving in this portion of God’s vineyards. God has indeed blessed OCW with talented, caring people who give a lot to make each phase of our operation successful.

Writing Conferences

Writer's Prayer - May 2010

Heavenly Father, Almighty Savior, God of Truth, we praise You. As we remember Your holy Word, we bow before You. Jesus is the Living Word who came into the world to do for us what we couldn’t do for ourselves.

His Word encourages us. “In the beginning [before all time] was the Word (Christ), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God Himself” (John 1:1 Amplified).

OCW Doctrine

Founded in 1963, we are an organization of writers, both amateur and professional, who are Christians. Our members write for both ministry and markets, and subscribe to this doctrine:

I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth. And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended into hell; the third day He arose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven, and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic (universal) church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.

OCW’s doctrinal statement is the Apostles' Creed, to which our presenters adhere. Our aim is to glorify God and to help writers grow in their craft. OCW does not necessarily endorse the theological opinions expressed by its presenters in print or spoken word.
