GTH 2024 Summary
OCF Council President Col Dale Holland, USAF (Ret.), and CEO / Executive Director Col Scott Fisher, USAF (Ret.), hosted OCF’s inaugural Global Town Hall and started by discussing the impactful journey and future visions of Officers’ Christian Fellowship.
They highlighted OCF’s long-standing commitment to uniting officers in the U.S. Armed Forces through the bond of Christian faith, aiming to foster spiritual growth and community among military personnel and their families.
Scott and Dale underscored the organization’s foundational principles, including the significance of the OCF Handbook, which casts vision, explains OCF, discusses the military Christian life, encourages spiritual growth, and gives ideas for executing member-led ministry.
They also detailed strategic investments in conference centers and a shift toward enhancing individual member support through regional coordinators, reflecting on the ministry’s priorities to guide and support military community members in integrating their faith with professional and family life and showcasing a collective effort to positively impact military society for Christ.
Questions and topics
LTC Colin Wooten, USA (Ret.), moderated the town hall and posed a mix of questions from both the real-time event and those submitted ahead of time.
- What is a local leader? What training will I receive?
- How does one balance or integrate OCF involvement with commitment to the local church?
- How can one start an OCF ROTC group at a university that does not have one?
- What are the opportunities for retired ex-military who are separated from the military to stay involved with OCF?
- How are we getting the word out about OCF? Having talked with many in and out of uniform, they do not know it exists.
- What are the challenges that our Christian military chaplains are facing?
- Does OCF have any funding shortfalls?
- Has there been any thought of focusing on the National Guard and Reserves?
- How is OCF reaching out beyond its US membership?
- What steps will OCF take in the months and years ahead to pursue GRACE relations in the midst of divisive and dismissive culture?
- What is the plan to get regional training conferences revitalized?
- What two to three things are both of you excited about in the upcoming year?
