Please Give Careful Attention to the Following:

This is one definition comprised of three strategic bulleted elements not three stand alone options of what an OMC can be. We doubt if all of us will be able to memorize all three elements, however please include all three bulleted statements as the complete definition of an OMC in all presentations.

No where in this statement do you see the promotion of single local church events. An OMC is an associational missions event strategy involving multiple churches.  There are other non OMC events available for a single church to have their own mission’s conference. An OMC can be Associational –wide (intended for all churches of an association), an Association of Churches (a group of at least three churches from an association) or an associational missions awareness event such as a missions banquet or missions fair (this does not include a single church missions fair or banquet, banquets or fairs planned and promoted by a association) Example: An association could have an OMC mission banquet or fair as part of their association’s annual meeting.
