Ongoing Ambassadors For Christ
Connect with us
We believe that singing songs is a key task of an evangelist, especially in a digital music culture. Youth and adults are surrounded every day by music and OAFC strives to put Biblical Christ-centered music into the hearts and minds of our Ambassadors so that they can share that powerful message with others. Because many people do not know the true God, we want to sing, not just about "God" in general, but to specifically point to His gift of salvation in Christ. As St. Paul saw himself as a "servant of the Gospel," called to "make known the mystery of God, namely Christ," so we too are compelled to sing "Christ crucified" (1 Corinthians 2:2) for sinners - the Only Way to the Father. To this end, we publish an OAFC Songbook - a collection of Strong Gospel Message Songs - especially many emphasizing the Sacraments, Hymns and Old Favorites, Children's Songs, Fellowship Songs, and Solos and Duets that have as their purpose the proclamation of the Word of God, especially the Gospel of the Life, Death, and Resurrection of Christ.

Below are examples of ways OAFC songs can be used in Lutheran worship in the congregations we serve.
Note: These aren't provided so that OAFC "takes over" the service. These are ways OAFC instruments and youth can be used to accompany and accent Sunday morning worship services. Youth are therefore taught the basics of the Liturgy while learning how to connect the songs they sing for witnessing with the gifts of Divine Service.
