Church & Ministry Relations

global leadership summit

OHCC will be hosting The Global Leadership Summit on August 8-9, 2013! The GLS exists to transform Christian leaders around the world with an injection of vision, skill development, and inspiration. The Summit is telecast LIVE from Willow Creek Community Church near Chicago. We are one of 200+ Premier Host sites in the US.  Click here to check out the GLS, and register using our Bemidji MN site #264 on their list.

 The GLS is a "must attend" leadership training event. The speakers were world class. My thanks to Oak Hills for bringing an international leadership training event to a location within reach of rural pastors.
- Dr. Martin Giese, Lead Pastor, Faith Baptist Church, Park Rapids

This is by far the most important leadership tool to affect your entire ministry you'll ever purchase. Like Bill Hybels says, "When a leader gets better, everybody wins."
- Jon Marx, Lead Pastor, Bethel Assembly, Fosston

We are committed to local ministry networking, believing that God wants us to work together and support each other in building His kingdom in our communities. We keep an extensive list of church & ministry contacts, and we’d like to know about your local ministry network or help you find a network if needed.
