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.
