These courses detail the history and theory behind much of OC's ministries. From the Field Policy Handbook, where-in we find policies that show the proper boundaries in which OC ministries thrive, to the Objective process, where learners can learn the ins and outs of laying out and executing strategy for effective ministries, to the Foundations of OC, a history lesson on where we started and what we've built upon -- this category covers the "essentials".
