Ignite Ohio FAQs
This initiative is for all English-speaking and non-hispanic multilingual churches.
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 $10,000 into their proclamation initiative.
Each participating church will receive $5,000, one fully funded Bible worker during the proclamation series, and a fully funded speaker provided by the Columbia Union.
Since the Columbia Union is providing speakers, we want to honor their partnership by receiving the gifted speakers they send. The only exception is for churches with specific language needs.
Contact the conference office, and they will guide your leadership team through the next steps.
A proclamation initiative is a week of intentional gospel-centered preaching, teaching, and appeals that lead people to a personal response to Jesus.
The vision is revival — to ignite hearts to burn for Jesus. Reformation — to ignite lives to shine for Jesus. Release — to ignite hands to work for 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.
You can stay informed by joining the Ignite Ohio email list. Sign up here.
You can use the $10,000 flexibly across pre-campaign, proclamation week, and post campaign activities, since the goal is long-term discipleship.
