Preaching-Teaching Convention

Preaching-Teaching Convention exists to help leaders lead better longer. Through main sessions, practical workshops, and special events throughout the three-day convention, guests are provided with several opportunities to engage in worship and Biblical teaching, as well as partner with the college.

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 Ozark Christian College.
