Here is the mission statement of ISU OCF, taken from the chapter's constitution:
To support Orthodox Christian Fellowship at Iowa State University and in Ames, Iowa; and to experience and witness the Orthodox Christian Church through community life, prayer, service to others and study of the Faith (Acts 2:42). Furthermore, the ISU OCF will work to nurture and strengthen love for Jesus Christ and His Church in its fullness at this most critical juncture of human life through and offer an opportunity for Orthodox Christian students, faculty members and ISU employees, and those interested in the Orthodox Christian Church to become more fully acquainted with and informed about their Orthodox heritage.
To deepen the spiritual and devotional life of ISU students, faculty members and employees, and to promote earnest study of Orthodox Christian doctrine, practice and living.
To strengthen ties between ISU students, faculty members and employees of the Orthodox Christian Faith, to develop a more fruitful fellowship among them, and to further cooperation with other Christian organizations with similar aims.
To bear witness on campus and in Ames, Iowa of the unique message of the Orthodox Church by affirming its continuity in the course of history from the Apostolic beginnings.
To further either directly or indirectly, the welfare of ISU students, faculty members and employees, in body, mind and spirit, all in harmony with the Christian purpose.
To unite ISU Orthodox students, faculty members and employees in Orthodox worship.
To sponsor activities such as study groups, Christian service, and lectures by specialists on topics of interest to the group.
To act as a pan-cultural, pan-Orthodox fellowship at Iowa State University, uniting Orthodox Christians hailing from the U.S. and around the world, in prayer, worship and Christian inquiry.
