The next time you visit the grocery checkout line, glance over and check out a few magazine headlines. Then ask yourself, “Should a 14-year old see this?”

By the time it’s your turn to check out, you may realize: there is a totally huge need to keep our students ONCOURSE.

ONCOURSE, the official magazine of Assemblies of God national youth ministries, is aimed squarely at students age 13-18. OC is all about being relevant to today’s culture — and having the guts to take a stand for making the right choice — no matter what the crowd says. Using edgy features and in-your-face graphics, OC tackles everything today’s student faces — from biblical truth to ethics … sexuality to dating … from giving to missions to becoming a campus missionary — it is all in there. The mag is loaded with straight-up advice and godly perspectives on real-life, relevant issues.

It’s OC’s mission to empower students to grow in a real-life relationship with Christ.  OC is all about providing students the 4-1-1 to filter pop culture, follow Christ and fulfill His Great Commission.

ONCOURSE, the print magazine, is published quarterly, and has a readership of over 160,000. OC is available free to youth ministries who request bulk subscriptions.

And while you’re checking us out, visit our Web site at oncourse.ag.org for a little taste of something different.
