Okoboji Bible Conference Ministries

Okoboji Bible Conference Ministries Free of charge and open to all! It all started as a tent meeting and that tent meeting feel just won’t go away. Nobody wants it to. There is no registration fee.

The Okoboji Bible Conference is a one-week gathering for the whole family, bringing together ministry leaders, musicians, and global mission voices to foster spiritual growth and Christian fellowship. Since 1935, this annual late-summer gathering has served countless participants by encouraging Christian growth and global vision for people of all ages. There is deep refreshing in ancient truth fro

m contemporary Christian leaders. World-class Christian musicians and worship leaders sweeten the gathering. The takeaways are life changing. The Conference continues by faith, depending on God’s provision through those who benefit. Donations are received to meet Conference expenses, maintain the campus, and support our local, year-round ministry called Intersect. To attend the Conference, you need only care for your own transportation, housing, and meals. You can find more information on our website at www.okobojiconference.org. Over five generations the Conference has multiplied multipliers of God’s love. People learn and grow in worship, spiritual formation, Christian compassion, and mission. Then, transformed lives transmit the love of Jesus Christ down the generations and around the world. Plan now to participate in the next Okoboji Conference…and welcome to the family!

“Paul planted, Apollos watered—but God gave the growth.” (1 Corinthians 3:6–7)

For 92 years, God has been growing something special at Okoboji Bible Conference.

This year, we’re inviting you to be part of it in a simple way:
$92 for 92 years.

A small seed.
A lasting impact.

We plant.
We water.
We trust God for the harvest.

Announcing the 2026 Theme: Endless Joy!
"Do not grieve, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.”— Nehemiah 8:10b

This is not a call to surface-level happiness or ignoring hardship. Scripture reminds us that true joy is rooted in the Lord — a joy that strengthens us even in seasons of challenge, loss, or rebuilding. In Nehemiah 8, God’s people were reminded that even as they turned their hearts back to Him, joy was part of their obedience. That same joy is available to us today.

Mark your calendars for August 1st - 7th and join us for our 92nd Annual Okoboji Bible Conference! Follow along on social media for more information on conference details!
