Third, the OCEA conference is close and convenient . Sometimes people travel hundreds of miles to attend a seminar or training event. This one is held almost in our backyard. Transportation is even provided for those needing it. With the closeness, our people can come and go, attending all or just part of the conference.
People attend from beginning to end or go for just a specific workshop.
Fourth, financially speaking, this is an inexpensive opportunity to sharpen your ministry skills or learn new ones. Many of those currently involved in ministry have already gotten program information and the registration forms and those that need them can get them in the church office. The cost is the same if you attend just one workshop or attend the whole conference. These are wonderful times here at First Christian. God has really blessed us.
