Things You Need to Know
Ministry is practical not just theoretical. The Call 2025 focuses on Things you should know about calling, ministry, missions and living on Mission
Is God calling you?
It’s the foundational question that must be answered by anyone considering entry into a lifetime of ministry or missions leadership. God is calling a new generation of kingdom leaders out of Oklahoma who will fulfill the Great Commission in this generation. The Call Conference will help students cut to the heart of the matter and provide tools to work through the process and pursuit of calling. Hope you will join us!
What to Expect
Confirm / Grow / Follow
The Call is designed for individuals who are exploring or pursuing a call from God to ministry leadership. We encourage middle school, high school, and college students, who feel that God may be calling them into ministry to attend. The Call Conference will also serve to encourage and train parents and leaders in churches to mentor emerging ministry leaders. The conference will offer students three large-group sessions and multiple breakout sessions geared toward helping them recognize and put into practice God’s call on their lives. Also, we offer a special spiritual growth track for students as well!
