About OCMA

Introducing the Orthodox Christian Men’s Association (OCMA):

OCMA is an Orthodox brotherhood dedicated to helping men become better men together in Christ through prayer and work, following the Holy Rule of St. Benedict, and proclaiming the Orthodox Faith to America. Heal men, and you heal families, communities, and the nation.

OCMA was founded in 2021 by Maestro Joshua Jobst. His vision is a laymen-led, pan-Orthodox brotherhood and men’s mission working in symphonia with local bishops, priests, and deacons.

OCMA is the first level of our brotherhood. You do NOT need a motorcycle to join, or be Orthodox – as long as you respect the Orthodox Faith. Higher levels to aspire to include the Orthodox Motorcycle Association (OMA) and the Dead Orthodox Motorcycle Riding Club (DOC).

This one trinity brotherhood in three levels we call: DOCOMA.

DOCOMA calls men to stand up and be men; to have the courage to deny ourselves, pick up our cross daily, and follow Christ. We are proactive in supporting Orthodox clergy and serving Christ faithfully in our Orthodox parishes, communities, and the world.

DOCOMA follows and fosters the Holy Rule of St. Benedict, to the extent we are able, as Orthodox oblates, i.e., offering ourselves as living sacrifices to God; not being conformed to this world, but being transformed into the image and likeness of Christ (Romans 12:1-2).

DOCOMA teaches four pillars of manhood: Pray, Protect, Provide, Preside, modeling the four virtues: Justice, Courage, Temperance, and Wisdom (Wisdom 8:7), and the four Gospels (with symbols): Matthew (just man), Mark (lion), Luke (ox), John (eagle).

DOCOMA accomplishes this through education on Orthodox manhood, motorcycle riding, music, mission, martial arts, meetings, programs, pilgrimages, rallies, and other charitable services that promote and support Orthodox Christian brotherhood, camaraderie, lay leadership, body-soul-spirit health, growth, renewal, transfiguration, and Orthodox evangelical witness.

Brotherhood is free. Membership pledges & donations help us grow and fulfill our mission.
