Buckeye Mission & Ministry Offering

ABC/Ohio is launching the “Buckeye Mission and Ministry Offering.” This Region mission offering will provide individuals and churches who wish to specifically support ABC/Ohio a NEW way to do so. It will be especially helpful for churches that do not support United Mission, America for Christ, or support ABC/Ohio in any way. For churches that value special offerings rather than budget line items as a way to support ministries the B.M.M.O. will be the perfect opportunity. A letter from Dr. Larry Swain concerning this offering can be downloaded HERE. Bulletin inserts and offering envelopes can be obtained by calling 740.587.0804 or by emailing Donna West. We can send as many of these items as your church will need.
