Ignite Ohio FAQs
Each participating church should engage in the 28-Day Acts Challenge, the Share Your Table Month, and the Proclamation Initiative. Churches should also commit to other pre- and post-campaign activities, participate in the local training provided by the Ohio Conference, and invest a minimum of $5,000 into their proclamation initiative.
Each participating church will receive $10,000, one fully funded Bible worker during the proclamation series, and a fully funded speaker.
You can use the $10,000 flexibly across pre-campaign, proclamation week, and post campaign activities, since the goal is long-term discipleship.
A proclamation initiative is a period of intentional and focused gospel-centered preaching, teaching, and appeals that lead people to a personal response to Jesus.
The $10,000 is released after your church board votes to officially join Ignite Ohio, builds an evangelism plan, and the local pastor fills out the commitment form.
If a church withdraws after funds or personnel have been assigned, we ask for early communication so resources can be reassigned.
Contact the conference office, and they will guide your leadership team through the next steps.
We believe Ignite Ohio will be a tremendous blessing for every church, but we also understand that congregations move at different rhythms and have various ministry plans already in place. Non-participating churches will simply continue with the normal yearly evangelism process and support available through the Ohio Conference. Ignite Ohio’s funding, training, and enhanced coordinated campaign resources are reserved for churches officially joining the initiative.
