2016 Missions Celebration

Missions Celebration Coming November 14

For many Oklahomans, missions and taking the Gospel to the world begins with finding forever homes for children through foster care and adoption. Attend this year's Missions Celebration and discover how your church and you can be part of impacting God's kingdom right here in our state. Whether you see yourself as someone who could provide a home or you can provide support to families in your local church, this celebration and symposium is for every person who loves children.
