Tailored Forums for Business & Ministry Leaders

 

OIC Forums bring faith-driven business and ministry leaders together for meaningful training and discussion. Each group attends its own forum, where they gain practical insights and connect with others facing similar challenges. It’s more than just learning—it’s a place to grow in faith, sharpen leadership, and find encouragement for the journey ahead.
