Event Summary

Preach the Word: Preaching-Teaching Convention 2025

The Preaching-Teaching Convention at Ozark Christian College helps leaders lead better longer. Through main sessions, practical workshops, and special events in this three-day convention, you'll have several opportunities to engage in worship and biblical teaching.

The theme for 2025 is Preach the Word: "Preach about Jesus from the Word of God like those who have gone before us to all people in all ways in the courage of the Holy Spirit with great endurance." Join us for main sessions, worship, workshops, and more on the campus of OCC.
