About this Event

Faithful God, Faithful People, Unfinished Task | Celebrating 125 Years of God’s Faithfulness Through One Mission Society

Come celebrate 125 years of God’s faithfulness through One Mission Society. The festivities begin Friday, June 26, 2026, at 7 p.m. with OMS’ traditional parade of flags, a time of worship, a video highlighting the first 25 years of OMS history, regional stories, and a warm welcome from President Jeff Edwards.

The first evening will conclude with fellowship and refreshments.

The celebration continues Saturday, June 27, at 9 a.m., featuring more worship, stories from around the world, engaging workshops, videos, fellowship time, a vision cast by President Edwards, and a celebratory cake around 8 p.m. Join us for both lunch and dinner on Saturday as well as refreshments in the evening.

A children’s program will be available for kids in kindergarten through fifth grade. We will also offer childcare for children ages 0-5.

You can also browse OMS books and connect with old and new friends.

Together, we will reflect on the past, rejoice in the present, and renew our commitment to the unfinished task of sharing Christ’s love. Whether you have served, prayed, given, or hope to partner with OMS in the future, this event will honor God’s work over the past 125 years and look ahead with hope.
