Support for our US Ministry Partners comes from the OMPC General Fund budget. We financially and logistically support ministry partners within three categories:
Campus Ministries
Church Planting
Discipleship

OMPC has partnered with a local refugee agency called Inspiritus. Through this partnership, we are matched with vetted refugee families needing temporary housing until they are able to relocate to a more permanent home in the greater Birmingham area.
We house refugees on our campus in the Harvest House. This house is a fully furnished home that provides refugee families a comfortable place to live while awaiting their more permanent home.

Global Missions

OMPC’s Global Ministry Partner focus is to join alongside the Lord’s holistic church planting work around the world. While nonbelievers do need to hear & understand the Gospel, be discipled and ultimately be baptized, there is also a work that needs to be done to raise up churches to continue on this mission work among their local people groups.
We long to follow Jesus’ call to see people saved, discipled into Bible-believing churches and then begin witnessing to and discipling others, who are also ministering to the least and lost around them — multiplying disciples and churches.
This is holistic church planting multiplication!

OMPC supports over 50 global ministry partners in nearly 30 countries. Due to the sensitivity of many of our Global Ministry Partners names and locations, we do not publish that information online.
However, you can pray for our ministry partners by name and specific prayer request through our annual Prayer Guides. Pick one up before or after worship this Sunday!

Go | Engaging every neighbor with the surprising power of grace
The Mission of OMPC is to engage every neighbor with the surprising power of grace…over the pew, over the fence, over the mountain and overseas! While this mission drives everything we do at OMPC, the Missions Department plays a key role in facilitating members to participate in this church-wide mission, specifically over the fence, over the mountain and overseas alongside our US and Global Ministry Partners.

What is Faith Promise?
Faith Promise is an agreement between you and God. It is a promise that, as God enables, you will give a certain amount toward “Faith Promise” (Global Missions at OMPC) above and beyond your tithe.
Our Faith Promise funds go toward supporting our Global Ministry Partners around the world. During each year’s Global Missions Conference, we share of many ways God is working in and through our Global Ministry partners, made possible by OMPC’s generous Faith Promise giving. On the final Sunday of the conference, we encourage the congregation to make a pledge to give toward Missions through Faith Promise for the upcoming year. Click the links to learn more from our Faith Promise FAQ, or to make your pledge or give today!
WHERE DOES THE MONEY GO?
75% - Ongoing Ministry Partner Support
75% of our Faith Promise budget goes toward ongoing support of our global ministry partners. This also includes one-time gifts or extra support needed for a variety of situations, such as unexpected medical treatment, emergency travel expenses
25% - Partner Care & Mobilization
Partner Care & Mobilization is critical to raising up missionaries, keeping our congregation engaged, and providing the spiritual and emotional support required for partners to have longevity on the field. This also goes toward our short-term trip efforts, which incorporate both outreach and service as well as ministry partner care.
