Registering your Support Group is valuable and appreciated by OCHEC. Please take the time to register a current or renewing group or register as a new group! There is no cost.

If you have any questions, our staff would be glad to talk to you at . Alternatively, send us an email at info to get started!

OCHEC proactively supports the growth of local connections. Please consider registering as a Support Group with the intention to receive members as God sees fit.

You can register with just one individual member as a leader. There is no minimum number of members to start. We gladly support your interest to serve!

Your contact information will be added to a confidential database, and your Area Rep will contact you, giving the new person’s information to you for you to reach out.

As of August 2020, no money will be submitted to OCHEC by Support Group Leaders on behalf of the group or its members. Each member is invited to join as an OCHEC individual. Members will be given their OCHEC  (membership number) directly via email from the office.

Support Group member rate is offered no matter the size of your group; voting privileges begin at a minimum of five OCHEC members.

OCHEC does not currently require any members of the support group to have membership with OCHEC in order to set up a support group acknowledged by OCHEC. However, OCHEC prefers that at least one of your members, preferably one of the group leaders, is a member of OCHEC, in order to keep you better informed and connected.

As a member, you can register your group by filling out the application form below.

Once we have received your application, we will follow up by phone or email to confirm any details.

It is required that the support group be registered by one of the support group leaders, and this leader is required to read and affirm the OCHEC Constitution and agree with the OCHEC Statement of Faith (Article 4 of the Constitution).
