Headquarters
The name "OCI" can refer to the headquarters office or the more than 80 ministries that are members of the organization. The purpose of the office is to link the members together in such a way that each ministry can benefit from both the leaders of OCI and the other member ministries.
The headquarters office also promotes the ministries, organizes annual leadership seminars for its members, and channels funds to the ministries. In addition, the office organizes the Educational Assistance Program for young people, and the Missionary Assistance Program for missionaries who are serving outside their home country.
