LEAD Conference - May 14th, 2024
Dear Church Leaders,The ECY Department invites CCCU lead pastors, youth and children pastors, young adult workers, and parents – well, basically anyone who has a desire for youth and young adults to love Jesus - to attend the LEAD Conference. In addition to receiving practical tools and strategies for effective ministry, the goal is for you and your ministry team to leave with a renewed energy and passion to confront the challenges facing our youth. From the Lead pastor to the children worker, there is something for everyone at this conference. A breakout has been added specifically for those who work with the younger ages.Dr. Kipp will present a vision for youth ministry that goes beyond the classic entertain-youth-separately-and-sprinkle-in-Jesus mentality that for too long has been our North star. Instead, he will suggest a way toward integration into the Body and Mission of the resurrected One.May 14th, 2024 9:00AM-3:30PM at the OCU Ministry & Performing Arts CenterCONFERENCE SCHEDULE: 9:00am - Registration 9:30am - Keynote Speaker 10:45am - Breakout Session 12:00pm - Lunch 1:00pm - Breakout Session 2:30pm - Keynote SpeakerContact Aaron Green, General ECY President at 740-415-7053 with any questions.REGISTRATION:Registration is $20, which includes lunch.Free book to the first 50 registrants.Online registration at www.cccuyouth.org.Blessings,The General Evangelical Youth DepartmentLEAD Conference Poster

Ohio Christian University Mourns the Loss of Former Assistant Professor Jamey Gremillion
Rev. Jamey Gremillion, who led the Missions Department at Ohio Christian University from 2012-2020, rested from his labors on Wednesday, February 28th after a valiant battle with cancer. His influence on our students was immense. The OCU community is marked by deep sadness and profound loss at the departure of our friend, colleague, and brother. We are grateful for his witness among us. He will be sorely missed.Jamey’s faith was in the risen Lord, in whose words we trust: “this is the will of Him who sent Me, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him may have everlasting life, and I will raise him up at the last day.” Though we sorrow, it is not without the sure and certain hope of resurrection.Please remember Cara, Cameron (Blessing), Cade (Liz), Kelsey, Karis, and his extended family in your prayers.A visitation will take place on Thursday, March 7, from 5-8 p.m. on campus at Detty Chapel.The funeral will be on Friday, March 8 at 11:30 a.m., also at Detty Chapel.Obituary can be viewed HERE.

CCA Speech & Debate Tournament
On February 9-10, Ohio Christian University was honored to host the Christian Communicators of America Speech and Debate Tournament. High school students filled nearly every building on campus as they debatedand gave speeches on a variety of subjects.The Chistian Communicators of America is an organization that provides homeschool students the opportunity to develop their skills in public speaking, debate, and research. One CCA director said of the organization,“…everybody, no matter what their job that they have, eventually ends up speaking in front of people…we want to make sure our kids are okay with that…our point is to be able to also speak confidently to share thegospel someday.”Whether the subject is politics, culture, or apologetics, this organization strives to teach their students to critically-think on every topic and every issue from a biblical perspective, while also allowing the students to meetnew people and form friendships.Former participant and now staff member of the CCA, Crystal Downing, said, “…talking to people, coming up with…things on the fly, was not intimidating to me at all because it’s…a skill that I was formulating all throughhigh school.”Crystal and her husband David met at a CCA tournament and agreed, “…our club was so close growing up, having…something mutual to bond over…”Ohio Christian University was privileged to have a part in the CCA’s Christ-centered mission to host and to serve homeschooling families across America.
