2025 Speaker
Pastor Steve Southards
"Growing up in a Christ centered home, I felt a call into ministry while in high school. After meeting the love of my life in college, Erin and I have been on a journey of discovering God’s gifting and passion in our lives, specifically as it relates to the local church and reaching those far from God. Erin and I are passionate about helping people take their next step with Jesus and it starts with our 4 kids: Payton, Colton, Presley and Stetson. In between wrestling matches with the kids, I enjoy hunting, time on the water, and smoking meat."
2025 Worship
Casey Liston
I am honored and so excited to be
bringing music and leading worship this
year at the Ohio Christian Men’s
Fellowship!
I was raised in a preacher's home, and I
have always been a part of worship in
some way. As a kid, my family would
gather around and we would sing hymns
of faith for hours! I grew up learning how
to sing from my mother. She would
spend hours forcing us kids to sing and
would critique us when we messed up.
At the age of 11, I came to know Christ as my savior. I began learning how to play various
instruments and began getting involved in our church worship band. As my talent grew so did
my heart for worship and for Christ. I have spent time leading at multiple churches over the
years, as well as travelling with a contemporary worship band. For the past 10 years I have
attended Dayspring Church of God in Cincinnati, Ohio where I continue to lead and be a part of
our worship ministry. I met the love of my life Sarah at Dayspring and we have been married for
5 years. God blessed me with two beautiful children Levi, and Lorelai. I absolutely love all
styles and types of worship music. My heart and goal is to give all the honor and praise that is
due to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Again I am so excited to be a part of this great
fellowship and I look forward to what God has in store for us.

Who We Are
When the Ohio Church of God Men's ministry began in 1976, the members had a vision for all men in Ohio. They would seek to live out the message and ministry of reconciliation through corporate fellowship and mission by the grace of God. For many years, the men's ministry hosted a spiritual retreat known as the Ohio Men’s Ox Roast. Today, the fellowship, mission, and retreat continue as the Ohio Christian Men's Fellowship (OCMF).The OCMF is a retreat in which Christian men gather to engage in fellowship with one another. This event has many different activities that men of all ages can enjoy. The retreat takes place over two days and is always scheduled the first weekend after labor day. Weekend events include a multitude of athletic and outdoor tournaments, sermons from an accomplished Christian speaker, devotional sessions, musical worship, and loads of recreational activities. All Meals are homemade and included. Accommodations are also included, which include cabins, RV hook-ups and open space for tents/hammocks. The OCMF retreat is a time for men to grow in their faith and meet and fellowship with brothers in Christ. Through the OCMF, Christian men across the state have raised money for ministry outreach and challenged countless numbers of men to serve the Lord. The OCMF is lead by a council of men that meet multiple times per year, under President Lance Rose, to plan the annual retreat. If you are a man interested in helping us plan this retreat, or a woman interested in helping with food preparation, please reach out to us at Ohiocmf@gmail.com
