OUR MINSTRY PROGRAMS
The Power of Prayer - Coming in 2026
One of the cornerstones of OCF is our unshakable belief in the power of prayer. Prayer isn’t just something we talk about — it’s something we practice faithfully and intentionally. Every one of our prayer gatherings is built on praying the Word of God, standing on His promises, and declaring His truth over individuals, families, teams, and communities. We believe what Isaiah 55:11 declares:
“It is the same with my word. I send it out, and it always produces fruit. It will accomplish all I want it to, and it will prosper everywhere I send it.” — Isaiah 55:11 (NLT)
Brothers in Prayer: For the SEALs themselves, as well as fathers, brothers, and male family members who desire to take their God-given authority to push back the darkness and claim victory in Jesus’ name. This is a call to spiritual arms — to stand firm, speak truth, and declare God’s promises over their lives, their teams, and their missions. These gatherings are marked by unity, strength, and spiritual covering — reminding every warrior and family that they are not fighting their battles alone.
“For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.” — Ephesians 6:12 (ESV)
Sisters in Prayer: For wives, mothers, sisters, and girlfriends of Navy SEALs. This group gathers weekly to intercede for their loved ones, their communities, and one another. It is a sacred space where faith and sisterhood meet — a place to carry one another’s burdens and speak life over those who serve.
Kids in Prayer: We believe that the same Holy Spirit who moves powerfully in adults is fully present and active in the lives of children. Our kids’ prayer gatherings teach the next generation how to lift others up in prayer, stand on God’s promises, and grow in faith together. We’re raising prayer warriors who understand their authority in Christ from a young age.
Prayer Journals & Weekly Growth
To help guide and strengthen each person’s prayer life, we’ve specially created prayer journals for men, women, and kids. These journals will walk participants step by step through what it looks like to pray Scripture with faith, authority, and confidence.
Each week, participants will learn and reflect on a different attribute of God, deepening their relationship with Him and growing in spiritual maturity. And because prayer knows no boundaries, each group will have both online and in-person gatherings, ensuring that no matter where you are in the world or what time zone you’re in, ensuring that you’ll always have a way to stay rooted in prayer, connected in community, and growing in faith.
Each of these groups meets once a week in unity, believing that the Word of God is living, powerful, and effective. We’ve seen firsthand how praying Scripture strengthens families, shifts atmospheres, and transforms lives. His Word never returns void — it accomplishes exactly what He sends it to do.
The NURTURE Program - Coming in 2026
A Discipleship Journey Rooted in God’s Word
We believe that encountering God’s Word should never be passive — it should bring transformation from the inside out. The NURTURE Program was created to do exactly that: to guide warriors, families, and the NSW community through a clear and intentional path of spiritual growth. It’s more than a Bible study; it’s a lifestyle of discipleship, built to anchor hearts in the truth of Scripture.
NURTURE stands for:
N: Need for the Word — Recognizing that the Word of God is essential for daily life, spiritual strength, and enduring hope.
U: Understanding the Word — Learning how to study Scripture with clarity and context, so truth becomes personal and powerful.
R: Receive the Word — Opening our hearts to not just read, but receive what God is saying through His Word.
T: Transformed by the Word — Allowing Scripture to shape our character, mindset, and daily decisions.
U: Utilizes the Word — Equipping believers to apply biblical truth in practical, everyday situations — from deployments to family life.
R: Revelation about the Word — Encouraging a personal and Spirit-led relationship with God where deeper insight and understanding are revealed.
E: Experiences the Word tangibly in their life — Living out Scripture so that faith becomes active, visible, and contagious to others.
Why It Matters
The NURTURE Program is designed to meet warriors and their families where they are — whether in training, on deployment, or at home. It provides structure, accountability, and a safe place to grow spiritually. Each phase of the program is intentionally built to cultivate a strong foundation in Christ, so when the storms of life hit, they can stand firm and lead others to do the same.
How It Works
Guided Teaching: Each stage includes Scripture-based teachings, small group discussions, and personal reflection.
Practical Application: Participants learn how to live out biblical principles in real-life situations — from the battlefield to the dinner table.
Community: Growth doesn’t happen in isolation. The program fosters a strong, faith-centered community and connection.
Spiritual Momentum: As individuals grow, they are empowered to pour into others, multiplying impact throughout the Naval Special Warfare community and beyond.
Our Vision for the Program
We envision warriors, spouses, and families deeply rooted in Scripture — not shaken by circumstance but strengthened through faith. The NURTURE Program is a tool to build disciples who live bold, unshakable lives for Christ and bring light into even the darkest places.
The Trident Bible Initiative
The Trident Bible — Where It All Began
Operation Christian Fellowship was born out of a simple but powerful vision: that every Navy SEAL would begin their career standing on the unshakable foundation of God’s Word.
That vision became reality with Class 368 — one of the largest graduating classes in recent history. As this class prepared to cross the finish line of one of the most grueling pipelines in the world, God stirred a burden in our hearts:
“What if we placed the Word of God into the hands of every single one of them — before they ever stepped into the fight?”
From that simple question, a movement was born.
A Tradition Rooted in Faith and Honor
With Class 368, we began gifting custom Trident Bibles to each graduate shortly before their official graduation. This opportunity is completely voluntary — and yet, from the very beginning, we’ve seen something remarkable:
Every single graduate to date who has been offered a Bible has chosen to receive it.
Even those who identify as atheist or agnostic have accepted it — not only drawn to the reverence of the message but also to the personal touch: their class number and the iconic Trident embossed on the cover. What began as a simple act of faith has become a powerful tradition that continues with every graduating class.
Praise Jesus for opening hearts in ways only He can.
More Than a Bible — A Personal Encounter
Each Trident Bible is far more than ink and paper. It’s a personal encounter with hope, truth, and the presence of God. Before a single Bible is handed out, it is individually prayed over by our team. A custom verse is selected and highlighted with care. The graduate’s name is handwritten inside, and the cover is embossed with the Trident, the revered emblem of the Naval Special Warfare community.
These personal touches aren’t about presentation — they’re about declaring identity and purpose over each warrior. It’s our prayer that every graduate knows they are seen, known, and loved by God.
To make the encouragement tangible and long-lasting:
A unique QR code inside links to a spoken message of hope and truth — a “pep talk” they can listen to anywhere in the world, reminding them that they are never alone.
Each Bible is compatible with the Filament Bible App, turning it into a powerful interactive study tool that helps warriors grow in their understanding of Scripture and deepen their personal relationship with God.
A Symbol That Goes With Them
For many warriors, the Trident Bible becomes a companion on long flights, a quiet refuge on foreign soil, and a steady reminder of God’s promises in the midst of uncertainty.
These are not just books.
They carry the living Word of God into some of the most intense, high-stakes environments on earth — where courage is tested, faith is refined, and brotherhood runs deep.
We believe that revival begins with one heart at a time, and it starts right here — in the hands of those who serve.
A Legacy That’s Just Beginning
What began with Class 368 — where dozens of new SEALs each held a Trident Bible before stepping into their careers — has grown into a living legacy. With every class that follows, we continue sowing seeds of faith, strength, and eternal hope into the next generation of warriors.
Our prayer is simple:
That every SEAL would begin their journey not just with a Trident on their chest, but with the Word of God in their hands and in their hearts.
This is more than a program. It’s a Gospel movement — bringing Heaven to the frontlines, one Bible, one warrior, one mission at a time.
